OpenClaw 2026.7.1 Ships with CVE-2026-62227 Fix
OpenClaw v2026.7.1, released July 13, 2026, is one of the more significant releases of the year. The standout changes:
- Major Control UI overhaul with refreshed onboarding
- GPT-5.6 as the new-setup default model
- New model support: Tencent Hy3, Meta Muse Spark 1.1, Featherless, Claude Sonnet 5, Mythos 5
- ClawRouter added as a new provider
- Major updates to official iOS, Android, and macOS apps
- Stronger Codex and connected coding-agent workflows
- Security fix tied to CVE-2026-62227 — the maintainers flagged this as important, advising operators to upgrade promptly
Community reaction to the UI overhaul has been mixed. Some users report a much smoother setup experience; others hit upgrade snags, particularly around transcript branch recovery on mobile. A race condition in that area remains under review before it lands in a stable channel.
The release also corrected model availability after an OAuth renewal, with /think ultra now the default for Sol and Terra, max for Luna, and Z.AI max honored.
