What to do
AI-suggested
Upgrade OpenClaw to version 2026.6.9 or later, where the vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation guidance is provided or required.
Description
OpenClaw versions from 2026.6.5 up to but not including 2026.6.9 contain a vulnerability in the plugin install wrappers that can bypass the install policy authorization check. This allows a lower-trust caller or configured input path to execute or persist actions beyond their intended authorization. The impact depends on the operator's configuration and whether lower-trust input can reach the vulnerable code path. The issue is fixed in version 2026.6.9.
