Network-reachable with a low-privileged authenticated caller (PR:L) and no user interaction; incomplete filtering yields host execution with full C/I/A impact, scope unchanged pending confirmation of cross-boundary effect.
Primary rating from Vendor (VulnCheck).

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
OpenClaw versions before 2026.6.1 contain a flaw in host exec environment filtering that could allow Git ext transport to be abused. When the affected feature is enabled and reachable, a lower-trust caller or configured input path could execute or persist actions beyond the caller's intended authorization.
AnalysisAI
Authorization bypass in OpenClaw before 2026.6.1 lets a lower-trust authenticated caller abuse Git 'ext' transport through incomplete host-exec environment filtering to execute or persist actions beyond their intended privileges. VulnCheck reported and characterizes it as an authentication bypass via Git ext transport, and a GitHub Security Advisory (GHSA-9969-8g9h-rxwm) is published; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that OpenClaw's host-exec environment-filtering feature is enabled and network-reachable, and that the attacker is at least a low-privileged authenticated caller or can influence a configured input path (PR:L in the CVSS 4.0 vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Signals are moderately strong but partly incomplete. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A low-privileged but authenticated user (or a controlled configured input path) supplies a repository reference or configuration that OpenClaw processes with the host-exec feature enabled; because the ext transport is not fully filtered, OpenClaw invokes an attacker-chosen external command on the host, running actions beyond the caller's intended authorization. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, and the low attack complexity with no required user interaction makes exploitation straightforward once the feature is reachable. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: 2026.6.1 - upgrade OpenClaw to 2026.6.1 or later as the primary fix, per the GitHub Security Advisory at https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories/GHSA-9969-8g9h-rxwm. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Inventory all OpenClaw deployments and their versions; isolate or restrict network access to any running versions before 2026.6.1 as a temporary containment measure. …
