Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Missing Authorization (CVE-ID: N/A)
CWE-ID: CWE-862 - Missing Authorization
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote user to bypass owner-only command authorization.
The vulnerability exists due to missing authorization in src/auto-reply/command-auth.ts when evaluating owner-enforced slash commands on channels that accept wildcard inbound senders without an explicit commands.ownerAllowFrom configuration. A remote user can send commands from a non-owner sender identity to bypass owner-only command authorization.
The issue is limited to the command-owner authorization axis and does not by itself grant owner-only tool access, host or sandbox access, or gateway administrator scope.
