{"id":"CVE-2026-70619","published":"2026-08-04T22:17:17.573","lastModified":"2026-08-05T16:17:05.093","description":"Odysseus before commit bf325f6 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows authenticated non-admin users to manage server-wide embedding backend configuration by invoking endpoint management routes that verify session authentication but omit the admin authorization guard. Attackers can supply an attacker-controlled URL to overwrite the embedding backend persisted in the endpoint configuration file and process environment, causing all subsequent embedding operations including chat messages, RAG queries, memory entries, and vault text to be transmitted in plaintext to the attacker-controlled destination, or delete the endpoint configuration to deny embedding service to all users.","cvssScore":8.8,"cvssSeverity":"HIGH","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","cwes":["CWE-862"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://aydinnyunus.github.io/2026/06/16/odysseus-embedding-endpoint-takeover/","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/commit/bf325f6b2185cb42bc5d8f5713a64aecffb766d4","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/issues/132","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/issues/80","tags":[]},{"url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/odysseus-missing-admin-authorization-via-embedding-endpoint-routes","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[{"url":"https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/commit/bf325f6b2185cb42bc5d8f5713a64aecffb766d4","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/issues/132","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/issues/80","tags":[]}],"hasPoc":true,"ai":{"summary":"The flaw allows authenticated non-admin users to manage server-wide embedding backend configuration, leading to plaintext transmission of sensitive data or denial of service.","exploitability":"Exploitation requires authentication but no admin privileges, making it moderately easy for attackers with access.","blast_radius":"If exploited, this could result in widespread data exposure or service disruption affecting all users.","remediation":"Implement strict administrative authorization checks on endpoint management routes to prevent non-admins from modifying server-wide configurations.","tags":["auth-bypass","config-mgmt","data-exposure","plaintext-transmission","denial-of-service"],"model":"qwen2.5:7b-instruct","analyzedAt":"2026-08-11T06:46:37.539Z"}}
