Impact

The vulnerability in exo‑explore exo 1.0.69 allows a remote attacker to call the GET /state and DELETE /instance/{instance_id} endpoints without authentication. The lack of authentication permits the attacker to read state information and delete or alter instances, effectively escalating privileges within the application. This flaw is classified as CWE‑306, an authentication bypass weakness.

Affected Systems

exo‑explore exo 1.0.69.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.5 indicates high severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low likelihood of exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, the likely attack vector is remote access over HTTP to the unauthenticated /state and /instance endpoints.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Restrict external network access to the exo‑explore service or block the /state and /instance endpoints with firewall rules or reverse‑proxy authentication.
  • Upgrade to a patched version that enforces authentication on those endpoints; if no official patch is available, follow the vendor’s recommendations.
  • Disable or harden the GET /state and DELETE /instance/{instance_id} endpoints, or implement a temporary authentication barrier such as an API key or basic authentication.
  • Monitor application logs for unexpected requests to the /state and /instance URLs and alert on repeated attempts.
