Why this priority: Medium severity, with no exploitation signal.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Deferred
What it is
The software does not check, or checks wrongly, whether a caller may do something. A permission check exists but gets the answer wrong for some callers.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it over the network, without an account, and nobody has to click anything.
What an attacker gains
The direct impact is limited: partial access to data or a partial outage. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker reach data or actions their role should not allow.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet. It can be exploited automatically, at scale. EPSS estimates a 0.59% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 49% of scored CVEs.
What to do
- Upgrade agentscope-ai AgentScope to 2.0.9 or later.
- Until it is patched, keep it off the internet or behind a VPN, allowlist or authenticating proxy.
Description from NVD
A flaw has been found in agentscope-ai AgentScope up to 2.0.8. This affects the function check_permissions of the file src/agentscope/tool/_builtin/_bash.py of the component Bash Tool. This manipulation causes incorrect authorization. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been published and may be used. Upgrading to version 2.0.9 mitigates this issue. Patch name: 6b43b13a46401e86abd3defeed9a8bfe5b37bc6d. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Permission checks in APIs and admin surfaces. The flaw sits between one role or tenant and another.
- Multi-tenant services. The flaw sits between one role or tenant and another.
Trust boundaries in play
- Internet-facing entry points. No account is needed. Any instance reachable from outside your perimeter, through a load balancer, gateway, VPN or exposed admin port, is in scope.
- Between one role or tenant and another. An attacker who crosses it can reach data or actions their role should not allow.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does agentscope-ai AgentScope run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
