Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: N/A)
CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor
CVSSv4: 5.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:A/VC:H/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote user to disclose configured third-party provider credentials to an unrelated provider endpoint.
The vulnerability exists due to improper endpoint selection in the OpenAI-compatible transport when a pinned third-party provider session continues after model configuration is reloaded without a concrete provider base URL. A remote user can cause a request to be sent to the default endpoint with the retained provider credential to disclose configured third-party provider credentials to an unrelated provider endpoint.
User interaction is required.
2) Incorrect authorization (CVE-ID: N/A)
CWE-ID: CWE-863 - Incorrect Authorization
CVSSv4: 7.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote user to broaden durable read or write access.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect authorization in file-transfer allow-always approvals when reusing a standing grant for a sibling path or a different node with the same display name. A remote user can reuse an approved standing grant to broaden durable read or write access.
User interaction is required for an operator to approve the original file-transfer request.
3) Incorrect authorization (CVE-ID: N/A)
CWE-ID: CWE-863 - Incorrect Authorization
CVSSv4: 8.4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote user to access or modify unreviewed files or repositories.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect authorization in reusable exec approvals when reusing an approved command in a different working directory. A remote user can obtain an allow-always approval for a command and reuse it in a directory with materially different read or write effects to access or modify unreviewed files or repositories.
User interaction is required for the operator\'s initial approval.
4) Incorrect Behavior Order: Validate Before Canonicalize (CVE-ID: N/A)
CWE-ID: CWE-180 - Incorrect Behavior Order: Validate Before Canonicalize
CVSSv4: 6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote user to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect behavior order: validate before canonicalize in the tools.fs.workspaceOnly Unicode filename fallback when retrying a missing path within the configured workspace. A remote user can request access to a known file outside the configured workspace boundary to disclose sensitive information.
Exploitation requires distinct canonically equivalent sibling directory names on the filesystem and knowledge of a useful target path; it does not rely on symlinks or hardlinks.
