4DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was detected in zhayujie CowAgent up to 2.1.1. This vulnerability affects the function _select_tools of the file agent/evolution/executor.py of the component Self-Evolution Review Agent. Performing a manipulation results in incorrect authorization. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used.
AnalysisAI
Incorrect authorization in zhayujie CowAgent up to version 2.1.1 allows low-privilege authenticated remote attackers to bypass access controls in the Self-Evolution Review Agent component. The flaw resides in the _select_tools function of agent/evolution/executor.py (CWE-863), where authorization logic is implemented incorrectly, potentially permitting access to tools or agent capabilities outside the caller's intended permission scope. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to hold a valid low-privilege authenticated session within CowAgent (PR:L from CVSS 4.0 vector - unauthenticated exploitation is not supported by the available data). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3 (Medium) reflects bounded but real impact: all three vulnerable-system impact metrics (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) are low, and no subsequent-system impact is indicated (SC:N/SI:N/SA:N), suggesting the breach is contained within CowAgent's own trust boundary. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch has been identified at the time of analysis - no fixed version number is available from the provided data, advisory references, or the VulDB entry at https://vuldb.com/cve/CVE-2026-18992. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
