What is CVE-2026-62199?

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.6.6 contain a security issue in the host execution environment filtering mechanism. This bug can allow lower-trust callers to provide specially crafted environment variables, leading to unauthorized execution or persistence of actions that exceed the original intent of the caller's authorization. When the affected feature is accessible, it can be exploited to bypass authentication controls.
