Description
Quivr through 0.0.322 fails to validate ownership in prompt endpoints, allowing authenticated users to modify any prompt by identifier. Attackers with read-only access to shared brains can read exposed prompt identifiers and overwrite system prompts affecting all brain users.

AI Analysis

Impact

Quivr versions up to 0.0.322 allow authenticated users to modify any prompt when provided only a prompt identifier. The lack of ownership validation means that any user can read prompt IDs and overwrite system prompts, potentially impacting the integrity of shared brain data and enabling malicious actors to embed harmful content or alter AI behavior. The vulnerability is specifically related to CWE‑639, which concerns insufficient validation of ownership or access control in the application logic.

Affected Systems

The affected product is QuivrHQ’s Quivr application, with all releases through and including 0.0.322 vulnerable. No specific sub‑component versions beyond this are noted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates a high risk to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No EPSS score is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, but the attack vector is inferred to require an authenticated user with read‑only access to a shared brain. An attacker who can discover prompt identifiers can overwrite any prompt, including system‑level prompts that affect all users of that brain. The exploit does not provide remote code execution or privilege escalation beyond data tampering, yet it can have significant operational impact.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Quivr to the latest version (0.0.323 or later) where the ownership validation has been corrected.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, enforce stricter access controls on the prompt modification endpoints so that only the owning user or explicitly authorized users can make changes.
  • Monitor the prompt modification log for unexpected changes and restrict or audit read‑only access to shared brains during remediation.
