Description
OpenClaw before 2026.5.6 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in native command handling that allows authenticated senders to execute owner-only commands without proper policy enforcement. Attackers can trigger native command handling to bypass the configured owner-command access control, potentially executing privileged commands from unauthorized users.
