Description
OpenViking versions prior to 0.3.3 contain a missing authorization vulnerability in the task polling endpoints that allows unauthorized attackers to enumerate or retrieve background task metadata created by other users. Attackers can access the /api/v1/tasks and /api/v1/tasks/{task_id} routes without authentication to expose task type, task status, resource identifiers, archive URIs, result payloads, and error information, potentially causing cross-tenant interference in multi-tenant deployments.

AI Analysis

Impact

OpenViking versions prior to 0.3.3 contain a missing authorization check on the task polling routes. The flaw permits unauthenticated callers to enumerate or retrieve background task metadata, including task type, status, associated resource identifiers, archive URIs, result payloads, and error information. The lack of access control can lead to cross‑tenant interference and the disclosure of confidential data in multi‑tenant deployments.

Affected Systems

The Volcengine OpenViking component is affected. All releases older than version 0.3.3 are vulnerable and must be upgraded to a patched build.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates moderate severity, while an EPSS score below 1% suggests a low probability of exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers can exploit the flaw by sending unauthenticated HTTP requests to the /api/v1/tasks and /api/v1/tasks/{task_id} endpoints. Because the endpoint is publicly accessible, automated scanners could enumerate tasks across tenants, potentially leaking sensitive information.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade OpenViking to version 0.3.3 or later
  • Restrict network access to the /api/v1/tasks endpoints to trusted IP ranges
  • Enable authentication on the API if not already configured
  • Monitor API logs for unexpected or repeated task polling activity
