Description
SimpleChat is a secure AI conversation application with personal and group workspaces for document-grounded interactions. Prior to 0.241.203, the authenticated GET /api/user/info/<user_id> and GET /api/user/profile-image/<user_id> endpoints in application/single_app/route_backend_users.py accepted a caller-supplied user_id and read the matching Cosmos DB user-settings document without object-level authorization, allowing a low-privilege authenticated user to retrieve another user's email address, display name, and profile image. This issue is fixed in version 0.241.203.

AI Analysis

Impact

SimpleChat, a secure AI conversation application, has a user‑IDOR flaw in its user‑info and user‑profile‑image endpoints, allowing an authenticated user to read another user's Cosmos DB record. The affected data include email addresses, display names, and profile images, resulting in a confidentiality compromise for other users. The vulnerability does not provide code execution or privilege escalation, but it exposes personally identifiable information that could be abused for phishing or social engineering.

Affected Systems

Microsoft SimpleChat versions prior to 0.241.203 are vulnerable. The flaw exists in the GET /api/user/info/<user_id> and GET /api/user/profile-image/<user_id> handlers located in application/single_app/route_backend_users.py. Upgrading to 0.241.203 or later fixes the lack of object‑level authorization.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates a moderate severity impact restricted to confidentiality. The EPSS score of < 1% indicates a very low exploitation probability, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting it is not a priority for widespread exploitation. The likely attack vector is authenticated requests to the vulnerable endpoints, which low‑privilege users can easily construct. Because the issue hinges solely on missing access checks, there is no dependency on external conditions or additional data to exploit the flaw.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade SimpleChat to version 0.241.203 or later to apply Microsoft’s official fix for user‑IDOR.
  • Update the application configuration to enforce object‑level authorization on all user profile endpoints, ensuring that only the owning user can retrieve their own metadata.
  • Conduct a security review of all GET endpoints that accept user identifiers to confirm that proper access controls are in place, and adjust any new routes accordingly.
