Description
Microsoft UFO open-source framework for intelligent automation across devices and platforms. In 3.0.1-4-ge2626659, Microsoft UFO's constellation client tracks pending task responses by session_id only and does not verify that a TASK_END message came from the device that originally received the task. When the constellation sends a task to a target device, it records a pending Future under a session key. The pending task record stores the expected device ID, but the completion path ignores that binding. If another authenticated peer device sends a forged TASK_END with the same session_id, the constellation accepts the response and completes the victim device's pending Future with attacker-controlled result data. This is an authenticated cross-device task-result injection issue.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability resides in Microsoft UFO’s constellation client, which tracks pending tasks solely by session_id and ignores the binding to the originating device. An authenticated peer device can therefore send a forged TASK_END message with a session_id that matches a victim’s pending Future. The constellation client accepts the message and completes the victim’s task with attacker‑controlled result data. This allows the attacker to inject arbitrary results into tasks executed by other devices, compromising data integrity and potentially exploiting application logic that trusts task outcomes.

Affected Systems

Affected product: Microsoft UFO, version 3.0.1-4-ge2626659. The flaw is present in the constellation client component of that release. Devices running this version of the framework are susceptible to cross‑device task‑result injection if they communicate with a constellation server that does not enforce device‑ID verification on TASK_END messages.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.9 indicates a moderate severity, and the EPSS score is not available, so the likelihood of exploitation in the wild is uncertain. The flaw is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Exploitation requires that the attacker has valid credentials on a peer device connected to the same constellation, allowing them to send forged TASK_END messages. Once such a message is accepted, the attacker can inject crafted results, potentially affecting downstream processes that rely on those results.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Microsoft UFO to a patched version that enforces device‑ID validation in the constellation client (e.g., version 3.0.2 or later).
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, restrict peer device communication on the constellation network to trusted endpoints and monitor for unexpected TASK_END messages.
  • Implement application‑level checks to reject task results that do not match expected device IDs or signatures before processing them.
