CVE-2026-62205 is a medium-severity Missing Authorization (CWE-862) vulnerability in Openclaw Openclaw. Its CVSS base score is 6.0 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 16th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and AC-6 (Least Privilege) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data
OpenClaw versions 2026.4.12-beta.1 before 2026.6.6 contain a missing-authorization vulnerability in the MS Teams message actions feature. When the affected feature is enabled and reachable, a lower-trust caller or a configured input path can perform actions that should have required a…

stronger authorization or policy check. Practical impact depends on the operator's configuration and whether lower-trust input can reach that path. The issue is fixed in 2026.6.6.

Why these techniques?
Missing authorization (CWE-862) in a reachable MS Teams integration path directly enables unauthorized actions by lower-trust callers, mapping to exploitation for privilege escalation and public-facing application abuse.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly enforces authorization checks before allowing MS Teams message actions, blocking the missing-authorization path described in CWE-862.
Limits privileges granted to lower-trust callers or input paths, reducing the impact of any missing authorization check in the affected feature.
Enforces information flow policies on configured input paths, preventing unauthorized actions from reaching the MS Teams message actions feature.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Explicitly requires defining, enforcing, and reviewing authorizations and least privilege, directly preventing missing authorization checks.

Requiring authentication and credentials before any access occurs eliminates the absence of authorization checks that would otherwise allow an unauthenticated actor to reach protected resources.
Requiring formal authorization of every access request before rights are granted ensures that checks for required permissions are performed, preventing missing authorization checks from being introduced.
Mandatory authorization checks and central records of granted rights ensure that every access attempt is preceded by an explicit decision rather than relying on missing checks.
Segregating the approval of access rights from their implementation provides an independent check that reduces the impact of missing authorization checks in the resulting system configuration.
By requiring competent outsiders to verify that every function enforces the need-to-know principle, the control lowers the likelihood that missing authorization checks persist undetected.
Defining authorization responsibilities and reviewing risk-treatment progress throughout the project lifecycle catches missing authorization checks before the system is deployed.
