Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a valid Label Studio account with at least the ability to create or belong to an organization (PR:L). The vulnerability is specific to multi-tenant deployments where multiple distinct organizations share a single Label Studio instance - single-tenant self-hosted deployments are not exposed to cross-tenant data leakage. The attacker must know or enumerate valid cloud storage URIs (e.g., S3 paths) belonging to other tenants; no additional authentication or elevated privilege beyond account registration is required. Exploitation is limited to confidentiality impact (read-only access to cloud storage objects); there is no integrity or availability impact. Deployments using local file storage rather than cloud backends may have reduced or no exposure depending on how proxy_api.py resolves local URIs.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.3 with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/SC:H reflects the real risk accurately: the attack is entirely network-reachable, requires only low-privilege access (any registered user), involves no user interaction, and causes high confidentiality impact both within the attacker's tenant context and across the subsequent-system boundary into other tenants' cloud storage. The scope-change (SC:H) correctly captures the cross-tenant impact. EPSS data is not provided, and there is no KEV listing or public POC. The practical risk is highest for organizations running Label Studio as a shared multi-tenant service (e.g., SaaS deployments or shared internal annotation platforms); single-tenant self-hosted deployments face no cross-tenant exposure. The attack is trivially automatable: an attacker who registers an account simply iterates or guesses cloud storage paths. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag in the input is a mislabel - exploitation requires authentication, making this an authorization bypass (IDOR), not an authentication bypass.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker registers a legitimate account on a shared Label Studio instance and creates their own organization. They then submit crafted requests to the proxy_api.py presign or stream endpoints, supplying cloud storage URIs (e.g., S3 bucket paths) belonging to a different organization on the same instance. Because no organization filter is applied during URI resolution, the server returns presigned URLs or streams the content using its own cloud credentials, exposing the target organization's training data, labeled datasets, or source media.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 03, 2026

Cross-tenant cloud storage object access in Label Studio through 1.23.0 allows an authenticated low-privilege user to read other organizations' cloud storage contents by supplying arbitrary file URIs to the proxy_api.py presign and stream endpoints. The root cause is the absence of organization-scoped filters during URI resolution, enabling a tenant in a shared deployment to enumerate and exfiltrate training data, annotations, or source media belonging to other organizations. No public exploit or active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified at time of analysis, but the attack is low-complexity and fully automatable once an account is obtained.

RemediationAI

No explicitly confirmed patched release version is identified in the available intelligence - the VulnCheck advisory and GitHub references document the vulnerability through 1.23.0 but do not name a fixed release. Operators should monitor the HumanSignal Label Studio repository (https://github.com/HumanSignal/label-studio) and GitHub issue #9924 (https://github.com/HumanSignal/label-studio/issues/9924) for a patch release and upgrade when available. As a compensating control for multi-tenant deployments, restrict access to the proxy_api.py endpoints (presign/stream routes) via network-layer ACLs or reverse-proxy authorization middleware so that only authenticated requests for resources verifiably owned by the requester's organization are permitted. Alternatively, migrate to isolated single-tenant deployments until a patch is confirmed, eliminating the cross-tenant exposure entirely. Note that restricting network access does not fix the underlying missing authorization check and should be treated as a temporary measure only.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Label Studio is an open-source data annotation platform by HumanSignal (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:humansignal:label-studio) that supports cloud storage backends (S3, GCS, Azure Blob) for storing labeled datasets. The vulnerable code resides in label_studio/io_storages/proxy_api.py, which exposes API endpoints used to presign or proxy-stream cloud storage objects associated with tasks and projects. The root cause is CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key): the endpoints accept caller-supplied storage URIs without validating that the requested resource belongs to the caller's organization. In a multi-tenant deployment where multiple organizations share a single Label Studio instance, the lack of a tenant-isolation filter means the server-side cloud credential used to sign/stream the object is not scoped to the requesting organization, enabling cross-organization object access.

DescriptionCVE.org

Label Studio fails to apply organization filters when resolving storage URIs for tasks and projects in proxy_api.py endpoints. Attackers can access other tenants' cloud storage objects by creating a separate organization and supplying arbitrary file URIs to presign or stream bucket contents.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Label Studio deployments serving multiple organizations on shared infrastructure face a critical data isolation breach: authenticated low-privilege users can access other tenants' training data, annotations, and source media by manipulating file URIs in cloud storage endpoints, enabling wholesale exfiltration of confidential assets. In multi-tenant SaaS environments, this affects all customer data simultaneously. Leadership must prioritize architectural isolation, as the vulnerability violates fundamental multi-tenancy security expectations and exposes the organization to compliance violations and customer data breaches.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Disable cloud storage integration entirely if not operationally critical, eliminating the proxy endpoint attack surface; (2) Implement network-level segmentation restricting proxy_api.py endpoint access by organizational IP ranges or dedicated network interfaces; (3) Revoke or disable all low-privilege user accounts in multi-tenant environments until patched versions are available; (4) Deploy a reverse proxy or API gateway in front of Label Studio configured to reject any proxy_api.py requests containing file URIs outside the authenticated user's organizational storage prefix; (5) Enable and actively monitor cloud storage bucket access logs for anomalous cross-tenant URI patterns and set alerts for high-volume unauthorized access attempts.
