Summary

CVE-2026-62215 is a medium-severity Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity (CWE-345) vulnerability in Openclaw Openclaw. Its CVSS base score is 5.1 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 7th 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-4 (Information Flow Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

OpenClaw versions before 2026.6.5 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in HTTP Canvas responses that allows lower-trust callers to forge trusted A2UI actions. Attackers can perform actions requiring stronger authorization by submitting crafted requests through configured input paths, bypassing intended policy…

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1068 Exploitation for Privilege Escalation Privilege Escalation
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in an attempt to elevate privileges.
T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
Why these techniques?

Auth bypass in HTTP service directly enables public app exploitation and priv esc by forging higher-trust actions.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly enforces authorization policy on A2UI actions so lower-trust callers cannot bypass checks via crafted requests.

prevent

Enforces information flow rules that validate authenticity of HTTP Canvas inputs before permitting privileged actions.

prevent

Requires validation of all input data to reject forged or untrusted request content that attempts to impersonate higher-trust callers.
