Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform admin-only gateway actions.
The vulnerability exists due to improper authorization in plugin subagent route handling when invoking runtime.subagent.* from a plugin-owned HTTP route with auth: "plugin". A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to perform admin-only gateway actions.
The issue affects plugin-owned public routes that call subagent runtime methods and rely on gateway authorization to preserve least-privilege scopes.
