Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated low-privileged caller (PR:L) who can reach the deeptutor API over the network, plus the ability to enumerate or otherwise obtain a valid session_id belonging to a victim, which is then passed to TurnRuntimeManager.regenerate_last_turn. Limiting factors: the attacker must already possess a valid account on the instance, must know or guess another user's session_id (enumeration feasibility depends on how predictable those identifiers are), and the impact is confined to triggering regeneration of another user's session turn (integrity) with no confidentiality or availability loss per the CVSS vector. Affects deeptutor 1.4.0.

Impact

Signals converge on a LOW-to-MODERATE real-world priority rather than a high-urgency issue. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N, base 4.3 Medium) describes a network-reachable but authenticated (PR:L) flaw with only a low integrity impact and no confidentiality or availability loss - consistent with an IDOR-style authorization bypass that lets one tenant act on another tenant's session. EPSS is 0.15% (4th percentile), indicating very low predicted exploitation, and the CVE is NOT on the CISA KEV list, so there is no evidence of active exploitation. No SSVC decision data was provided in the input. The signals do not conflict: a modest CVSS, very low EPSS, no KEV, and a niche open-source target all point the same direction. One caveat: one of the references is a GitHub gist (Ro1ME) that may contain proof-of-concept detail, but the input contains no explicit POC flag, so exploit-code availability cannot be confirmed from the data provided - verify by opening the gist. Net: a legitimate access-control bug worth patching, but not a widespread emergency.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker creates or already holds an ordinary low-privileged account on a deeptutor deployment, then enumerates or otherwise obtains a session_id belonging to a different user. The attacker invokes TurnRuntimeManager.regenerate_last_turn against that foreign session_id, forcing an unauthorized regeneration of another user's conversation turn. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though a referenced gist may contain proof-of-concept material.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 06, 2026

Authorization bypass in DeepTutor 1.4.0 allows an authenticated remote attacker with a valid account to trigger the regeneration of another user's session turn by supplying a victim's session_id to TurnRuntimeManager.regenerate_last_turn, compromising session integrity. Exploitation requires low privileges and knowledge of a valid session_id; the EPSS score is 0.15% and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Until a fix is available, restrict network access to the DeepTutor API to trusted users and enforce strict authorization checks on all session-related endpoints, ensuring that the session_id is validated against the authenticated user's identity. Additionally, ensure session IDs are generated using a cryptographically secure random source with sufficient length (e.g., 128 bits) to make enumeration impractical; this mitigation only helps if the current implementation uses predictable identifiers, and requires code changes if not. Monitor logs for regenerate_last_turn calls referencing sessions not owned by the caller. The GitHub issue (HKUDS/DeepTutor#515) may provide further guidance. Note that these compensating controls reduce risk but do not eliminate the underlying authorization flaw.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability class is CWE-284 (Improper Access Control), specifically an authorization bypass through a user-controlled object identifier. DeepTutor's TurnRuntimeManager.regenerate_last_turn method fails to verify that the session_id supplied by the caller belongs to the authenticated user, allowing a low-privileged attacker to operate on another user's session. The lack of CPE data and the n/a vendor/product in the CPE string reflect incomplete metadata, but the affected component is clearly identified in the CVE description and the EUVD entry (EUVD-2026-91127). The underlying technology involves session management in a conversational AI tutoring system.
