Unauthenticated network GET routes ignore the configured secret (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N); impact is disclosure of sensitive approval data only, so C:H with I and A none.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Network-AI (npm: network-ai) versions 5.12.2 through 5.13.3 fail to apply the configured authorization check (checkAuth/secret) to the ApprovalInbox GET read routes, so even when an operator configures a secret, unauthenticated actors can access sensitive approval request details. The GET /approvals/?status=all, GET /approvals/:id, GET /approvals/stats, and GET /approvals/sse routes disclose full ApprovalEntry content including action/target shell-command strings, file paths, justifications, and risk levels. All responses also carry a hardcoded Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * header, enabling cross-origin disclosure from any website the operator visits. This is an incomplete fix for GHSA-mxjx-28vx-xjjj.

AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated information disclosure in the Network-AI (npm: network-ai) package versions 5.12.2 through 5.13.3 lets remote actors read the ApprovalInbox even when an operator has configured a checkAuth/secret, because the authorization check was never wired into the GET read routes. Exploitation exposes full approval-request content - including pending shell-command strings, file paths, justifications, and risk levels - and a hardcoded Access-Control-Allow-Origin:* header allows any website an operator visits to exfiltrate the same data cross-origin. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The Network-AI ApprovalInbox HTTP routes must be network-reachable by the attacker (or reachable from an operator's browser for the CORS variant), and an affected version 5.12.2-5.13.3 must be running. … 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, base 9.3) correctly reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw with no user interaction, which matches the description of routes that ignore the configured secret. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who can reach the Network-AI service issues a plain GET to /approvals/?status=all or /approvals/sse with no secret and receives the full queue of pending approval entries, harvesting the exact shell commands, target file paths, and justifications an AI agent is waiting to run. Alternatively, the attacker lures an operator to a malicious web page that uses the wildcard CORS header to fetch those same routes from the operator's browser and exfiltrate the results. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade the network-ai npm package to a release later than 5.13.3 that applies the checkAuth/secret guard to all ApprovalInbox GET routes; the input data does not include an exact fixed version, so consult the GHSA-m4jg-6w3q-gm86 advisory (https://github.com/Jovancoding/Network-AI/security/advisories/GHSA-m4jg-6w3q-gm86) and the VulnCheck advisory (https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/network-ai-through-missing-authorization-via-approvalinbox) for the patched version before deploying, and do not assume the prior GHSA-mxjx-28vx-xjjj fix is sufficient because this CVE is explicitly an incomplete fix for it. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Conduct an inventory of all systems using the Network-AI npm package versions 5.12.2-5.13.3 and restrict network access to affected instances to trusted administrative networks only. …
