| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid, authenticated user session or credentials (PR:L per CVSS vector). The vulnerability affects the update_user function when called with a manipulated user_id parameter that differs from the authenticated user's own ID. The application must be deployed in a configuration where multiple users exist (typical production setup). No special non-default configuration is required; standard multi-user installations are vulnerable. The limiting factor is the authentication requirement: unauthenticated remote attackers cannot exploit this. However, any user account - including low-privilege or guest accounts if the application supports such roles - can exploit the vulnerability to modify other user accounts. |
| Impact | CVSS 5.4 with network vector (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), and low privilege requirement (PR:L) indicates moderate but genuine risk. The CVSS environmental factor E:P confirms public exploit availability. CVSS Scope Unchanged (S:U) suggests impact remains within the same security boundary, but the vulnerability still enables integrity and availability impacts (I:L, A:L) - specifically unauthorized modification and potential disruption of other user accounts. The low privilege requirement is the critical limiting factor: exploitation requires valid authentication, narrowing the attacker pool to users with legitimate access. However, any authenticated user can exploit this, making it dangerous in open-registration deployments. The lack of vendor response and public exploit availability elevate real-world risk despite the moderate CVSS score. This is NOT a high-CVSS-but-low-risk issue; it is a realistic, immediately exploitable authorization flaw in production systems. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated user with valid credentials logs into SuperAGI. The attacker observes that the user update API endpoint accepts a user_id parameter. By modifying this parameter to another user's ID (e.g., changing from /api/update_user?user_id=123 to /api/update_user?user_id=456), the attacker submits a request to modify that other user's email, password, or role. The server fails to verify authorization and applies the changes to the target user's account, causing denial of service or unauthorized privilege escalation if role fields can be modified. A public exploit script available on GitHub (gist.github.com/YLChen-007) automates this by iterating through user IDs to enumerate and modify multiple accounts. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 19, 2026
Authorization bypass in TransformerOptimus SuperAGI up to version 0.0.14 allows authenticated remote attackers to modify user accounts by manipulating the user_id parameter in the User Update Endpoint (superagi/controllers/user.py), enabling unauthorized data modification and availability impact. Publicly available exploit code exists; the vendor has not responded to disclosure efforts.
RemediationAI
Upgrade TransformerOptimus SuperAGI to a version newer than 0.0.14 immediately. If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, implement the following compensating controls: (1) Add server-side authorization checks in the update_user function to verify that the authenticated user's ID matches the user_id parameter being updated, rejecting requests where the IDs do not match with a 403 Forbidden response - this prevents horizontal privilege escalation. (2) Implement request logging and alerting on update_user calls where the requester ID differs from the target user_id to detect ongoing exploitation attempts. (3) Restrict API access to the User Update Endpoint by IP allowlist or API gateway rules, limiting access to trusted administrative networks if the endpoint is not required for general users. Note that controls (2) and (3) are detective and preventive respectively but do not fix the underlying flaw; they reduce risk only until patching is complete. Verify patch availability with the vendor at the SuperAGI project repository.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability exists in the user update functionality of SuperAGI's REST API endpoint. The root cause is classified as CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key), indicating insufficient validation of the user_id parameter during authorization checks. When an authenticated user submits an update request, the application fails to properly verify that the requester has authority to modify the target user account. An attacker can supply an arbitrary user_id value to modify other users' accounts rather than their own. This is a classic horizontal privilege escalation flaw common in multi-tenant or multi-user web applications where object-level authorization is not correctly enforced.
