CWE-ID: CWE-863 - Incorrect Authorization
CVSSv4: 2.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote user to access information through AI tools intended only for administrators, without gaining permissions beyond those already assigned to the user.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect authorization in the AI Chat endpoint (POST /ai/chat) when handling requests for admin-only AI tools. A remote user can use an account with app access to request the flows and operations tools and read information permitted by the account's existing policies through an interface reserved for administrators.
Exploitation requires an AI provider to be configured on the instance.
