Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a SuperAGI v0.0.14 instance whose /knowledges/delete/{knowledge_id} endpoint is network-reachable by the attacker; per the CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N) no authentication or user interaction is needed in the affected snapshots. The attacker must supply a valid knowledge_id, so some enumeration or prior knowledge of identifiers is practically needed, though ownership is never checked. The primary limiting factor is deployment exposure: SuperAGI is typically self-hosted and often not internet-facing, so instances bound to localhost or behind an authenticating reverse proxy would not be directly exploitable. Impact is confined to deletion of knowledge objects (integrity), not code execution or data disclosure.

Impact

This is a genuine but bounded risk. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) describes a remotely reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw, and the 7.5 score is driven entirely by the integrity impact (I:H) of unauthorized data deletion - confidentiality and availability are rated N. The signals are largely consistent: CISA SSVC marks Exploitation as 'none' (no observed exploitation) but Automatable 'yes' (the delete endpoint can be scripted en masse) with 'partial' Technical Impact, which aligns with an integrity-only, single-object-deletion primitive rather than full system compromise. The CVE is NOT on CISA KEV, and no EPSS score was provided, so there is no data-backed exploitation-probability signal. A gist reference (by 'Ro1ME') is present and is characteristic of a public proof-of-concept, which would raise practical exploitability, but its contents are not verified in the provided data. Net: the technical severity is real for anyone exposing SuperAGI to untrusted networks, but the limited blast radius (deleting knowledge objects, no code execution, no data exfiltration) and SSVC 'Exploitation: none' suggest this is a legitimate-but-moderate priority rather than an emergency, and far below ubiquitous-product critical flaws given SuperAGI's niche footprint.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who can reach a SuperAGI v0.0.14 instance over the network sends a crafted POST /knowledges/delete/{knowledge_id} request without any credentials, iterating knowledge_id values to delete knowledge objects belonging to other organizations. Because the route enforces neither authentication nor organization ownership, the deletions succeed and are easily automated (SSVC Automatable: yes). A public gist appears to document the technique, lowering the skill required.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 02, 2026

SuperAGI v0.0.14 contains an unauthenticated access control flaw that allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary knowledge objects via the POST /knowledges/delete/{knowledge_id} endpoint. The route lacks authentication and does not verify organization ownership, so any attacker who can reach the service and supply a valid knowledge_id can remove knowledge entries, impacting integrity only. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified, but the flaw is remotely exploitable without credentials, and instances exposed to untrusted networks are at risk.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis. Until a fix is available, the most effective mitigation is to block external access to the vulnerable endpoint. If knowledge deletion is not required, configure a reverse proxy or API gateway to reject POST requests to /knowledges/delete/*; note that this will disable all knowledge deletion functionality. Alternatively, enforce authentication and authorization at the gateway level, ensuring that only authenticated users with appropriate organization membership can invoke the endpoint-this requires additional infrastructure and may not be feasible in all deployments. Restricting network exposure by binding SuperAGI to localhost or placing it behind a VPN or firewall with strict access controls will reduce the attack surface but may hinder legitimate remote use. A code-level fix should add an authentication decorator and an organization ownership check in delete_user_knowledge; if custom patching is performed, ensure thorough testing. Monitor the NVD entry and the referenced gist for any future patch announcements.

Technical ContextAI · show details

SuperAGI is an open-source framework for building autonomous AI agents, where 'knowledge' objects typically store contextual data used by agents. The vulnerability resides in the delete_user_knowledge function within superagi/controllers/knowledges.py, which handles the POST /knowledges/delete/{knowledge_id} route. The route is missing both authentication (no user session or token required) and authorization (no check that the requesting user belongs to the organization owning the knowledge_id). This aligns with CWE-284 (Improper Access Control). The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N indicates the attack is network-based, low complexity, requires no privileges or user interaction, and results in high integrity impact with no confidentiality or availability impact. Affected snapshots are those where the route is reachable; the CPE data provided is unpopulated (n/a), so exact product version mapping relies on the description specifying v0.0.14.

DescriptionCVE.org

TransformerOptimus SuperAGI v0.0.14 contains an incorrect access control vulnerability in delete_user_knowledge in superagi/controllers/knowledges.py. In affected source snapshots, POST /knowledges/delete/{knowledge_id} deletes the selected knowledge object without requiring authentication in the route and without verifying organization ownership of the supplied knowledge_id.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

SuperAGI v0.0.14, an open-source framework used to build and operate AI agents, ships a knowledge-base deletion endpoint that does not verify caller identity or organization ownership, allowing anyone who can reach the service to remove stored knowledge objects. For teams using SuperAGI to ground agents in proprietary, customer, or regulated data, the exposure is loss of curated knowledge assets and disruption to agent-driven workflows, recoverable only through backup restoration. Leadership attention is warranted because the affected data is organizational IP, the flaw is remotely reachable with no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no vendor-released patch is currently available.

Business Impact: Medium
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; interim mitigations are to restrict network reachability of the SuperAGI v0.0.14 service (VPN-only access, allow-listed reverse proxy, or WAF/load-balancer block on the /knowledges/delete/{knowledge_id} endpoint), enforce authentication and organization-scoped authorization at an upstream API gateway, disable or remove the knowledge-deletion route where business use does not require it, alert on and rate-limit destructive POST requests, and maintain tested offline backups of the knowledge store for rapid restoration.
