Description
MaxKB is an open-source AI assistant for enterprise. From version 2.0.0 through 2.10.2-lts, document and paragraph operate routes authorize only knowledge_id in the request path, then query the target Document by document_id or Paragraph by paragraph_id without confirming that the object belongs to that knowledge base. A normal workspace user with a known victim document or paragraph UUID can use an attacker-owned knowledge-base path to read or modify content in another user's knowledge base. No fixed version is available as of this review.

AI Analysis

Impact

This vulnerability allows a normal workspace user to access and modify content in another user's knowledge base. The flaw exists because the API routes for documents and paragraphs authorize only the knowledge_id from the request path, then fetch the target object by its UUID without verifying ownership. As a result, a user who knows a victim document or paragraph identifier can read or alter content in a different knowledge base, leading to confidentiality and integrity violations.

Affected Systems

Affected product: MaxKB (open‑source AI assistant) from vendor 1Panel-dev. Versions 2.0.0 through 2.10.2‑lts are impacted. No patch version has been released as of the latest review.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.4 indicates moderate severity. EPSS is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. The attack requires a user to be authenticated as a normal workspace member and to know a victim document or paragraph identifier. The likely attack vector is a direct API call within the compromised environment, exploiting the IDOR by specifying an attacker‑controlled knowledge_id. Operators should be aware that cross‑knowledge data leakage or unauthorized modifications could occur.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Ensure MaxKB is not running any version between 2.0.0 and 2.10.2‑lts; upgrade to a later release as soon as it becomes available from the vendor.
  • Implement verification of object ownership in the document and paragraph APIs, confirming that the requested knowledge_id matches the owner's knowledge base before allowing read or write operations.
  • Restrict normal workspace users to read‑only access for documents and paragraphs in other knowledge bases, or remove cross‑knowledge API access entirely.
  • Continuously monitor access logs for unauthorized reads or writes to documents and paragraphs, and alert administrators on suspicious cross‑knowledge activity.
