CVE-2026-62216: OpenClaw 2026.4.20 < 2026.5.28 Policy Bypass via Media Upload

Published Jul 17, 2026
·
Updated

OpenClaw 2026.4.20 before 2026.5.28 contain a policy bypass in the QQBot media upload feature. A lower-trust caller or configured input path could cause the media upload to reach network destinations that should have been blocked by OpenClaw policy (server-side request forgery). The practical impact depends on the operator's configuration and whether lower-trust input can reach that path.
