1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Remote unauthenticated exploitation against default configurations of SuperAGI ≤0.0.14 where the vector database management API endpoint is network-accessible. No authentication, special privileges, or user interaction required per CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N). Exploitation limited to instances that: (1) expose the /vector_dbs HTTP endpoint to untrusted networks (not firewalled or reverse-proxied with auth), and (2) have vector database integrations configured (ChromaDB, Pinecone, Weaviate, etc.)-the endpoint has no value if no vector DBs are provisioned. Scope unchanged (S:U) per CVSS indicates impact confined to the vector database component, not full system takeover. Attack complexity is low (AC:L) because the flaw is in missing authentication logic, not a race condition or complex parser bug. Does NOT require: local access, admin privileges, or specific deployment modes beyond network exposure. |
| Impact | CVSS 7.3 (High) with network attack vector (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), and no required privileges (PR:N) or user interaction (UI:N) indicates trivially exploitable remote access. Impact is rated Low across confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:L/I:L/A:L), but real-world consequences for AI systems are amplified: unauthorized extraction of proprietary embeddings (data exfiltration), injection of poisoned vectors (model manipulation), or deletion of knowledge bases (operational disruption). The E:P temporal modifier confirms Proof-of-Concept exploit code exists (GitHub Gist published by YLChen-007), lowering exploitation barrier. However, CVSS alone may overstate urgency: the RL:X (remediation level undefined) and vendor non-responsiveness per VulDB suggest patching uncertainty. No CISA KEV listing indicates exploitation not yet widespread, despite public POC. EPSS score absent-cannot assess probabilistic exploitation risk. SSVC decision point: exploitation is POSSIBLE (POC available) but not confirmed ACTIVE, automatable (AV:N/AC:L), and technical impact PARTIAL (limited to vector DB scope, not full system compromise). Priority depends on whether SuperAGI deployment exposes the endpoint publicly and contains sensitive embeddings. Missing data: production usage statistics, whether endpoint requires network exposure in typical deployments, and actual vendor patch timeline. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An external attacker discovers a publicly exposed SuperAGI instance (e.g., via Shodan search for default ports or API signatures). Using the published GitHub Gist POC, they send unauthenticated HTTP requests to the /vector_dbs endpoint to enumerate configured vector databases, extract API keys for third-party embedding services (Pinecone credentials), download proprietary document embeddings used for RAG workflows, or inject malicious vectors that poison agent responses. The low attack complexity (AC:L) and remote vector (AV:N) enable scripted mass exploitation. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 19, 2026
Remote unauthenticated access to vector database configurations in TransformerOptimus SuperAGI ≤0.0.14 allows attackers to retrieve, modify, or disrupt stored embeddings via the /vector_dbs endpoint. Missing authentication (CWE-306) in the get_vector_db_details function enables unauthorized manipulation of AI agent knowledge bases with CVSS 7.3. Publicly available exploit code exists (Proof-of-Concept published on GitHub Gist), but no active exploitation confirmed via CISA KEV. EPSS data not provided. Vendor unresponsive to early disclosure per VulDB report.
RemediationAI
Primary fix: Upgrade to SuperAGI version >0.0.14 if a patched release becomes available. Monitor the official TransformerOptimus GitHub repository (https://github.com/TransformerOptimus/SuperAGI) for security updates, as no vendor advisory exists at time of analysis and the maintainer has not publicly acknowledged the vulnerability. Immediate compensating controls: (1) Restrict network access to the vector database management endpoint using firewall rules or reverse proxy authentication (e.g., require API keys or OAuth tokens at infrastructure layer)-trade-off: adds operational overhead and may break automated agent workflows. (2) Deploy SuperAGI behind a VPN or internal network segment, blocking public internet access to the application-trade-off: limits remote agent accessibility. (3) Implement rate limiting and IP allowlisting for the /vector_dbs route-trade-off: does not prevent attacks from allowed sources. (4) Apply Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block unauthorized POST/GET requests to /vector_dbs endpoints lacking valid session tokens-trade-off: requires custom rule creation and ongoing maintenance. Review application logs for suspicious vector DB queries from unexpected IP addresses. For production deployments containing sensitive embeddings, consider temporarily disabling vector DB management API until patch confirmation.

Technical ContextAI · show details
SuperAGI is an open-source autonomous AI agent framework that uses vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, ChromaDB) to store embeddings for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and agent memory. The vulnerability exists in the vector_dbs.py controller's get_vector_db_details function, which exposes vector database management operations without enforcing authentication checks. CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function) indicates the endpoint fails to validate caller identity before granting access to sensitive configuration data. The affected CPE (cpe:2.3:a:transformeroptimus:superagi) identifies versions up to 0.0.14 as vulnerable. Vector databases in AI systems store semantic embeddings of proprietary documents, user interactions, and training data-making unauthorized access a significant intellectual property and privacy risk.

Lifecycle Timeline
5DescriptionCVE.org
A flaw has been found in TransformerOptimus SuperAGI up to 0.0.14. Affected by this issue is the function get_vector_db_details of the file superagi/controllers/vector_dbs.py of the component Vector Database Management Endpoint. Executing a manipulation can lead to missing authentication. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
Executive ViewAI
TransformerOptimus SuperAGI versions 0.0.14 and earlier contain an unauthenticated remote access vulnerability in vector database endpoints that allows attackers to retrieve, modify, or disrupt AI agent knowledge bases without credentials. Organizations using SuperAGI for generative AI workloads face immediate risk of data exfiltration, model poisoning, and operational disruption, with no vendor patch currently available.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict network access to /vector_dbs endpoint via firewall rules or VPC security groups to internal/trusted IPs only; (2) Deploy reverse proxy or API gateway requiring authentication (OAuth2, API key) in front of SuperAGI instances; (3) Disable or rename the /vector_dbs endpoint if not operationally required; (4) Implement comprehensive API access logging and alerting on vector database retrieval/modification attempts; (5) Maintain immutable backups of vector embeddings to enable rapid recovery from unauthorized modifications; (6) Consider temporary suspension of production SuperAGI deployments pending vendor patch release.
