3DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability has been found in cheshire-cat-ai Cheshire Cat AI up to 1.9.2. This affects the function _authorize_http_key of the file core/cat/factory/custom_auth_handler.py. The manipulation of the argument user_id leads to missing authentication. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass in Cheshire Cat AI up to version 1.9.2 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to manipulate the user_id argument within the _authorize_http_key function to circumvent HTTP API key validation entirely. Any publicly exposed Cheshire Cat AI instance is at risk of unauthorized access to its AI agent API, enabling arbitrary interaction with the agent without valid credentials. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires network access to a Cheshire Cat AI instance running version 1.9.2 or earlier that is reachable by the attacker over HTTP/S. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) with E:P confirms this is remotely exploitable with low complexity, no prerequisites, and a publicly available proof-of-concept - a combination that makes exploitation straightforward for any attacker who identifies an exposed instance. … 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 time of analysis - the Cheshire Cat AI project had not responded to the responsible disclosure as of the CVE publication. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
