Description
QAnything 2.0.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the /api/local_doc_qa/get_file_base64 and /api/local_doc_qa/get_doc endpoints that allows unauthenticated attackers to access any uploaded file or document. Attackers can enumerate file identifiers through unauthenticated endpoints and retrieve base64-encoded files or parsed document chunks without ownership verification to disclose cross-tenant knowledge base content.

Impact

QAnything 2.0.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the /api/local_doc_qa/get_file_base64 and /api/local_doc_qa/get_doc endpoints. The flaw allows attackers who are not logged in to enumerate file identifiers and retrieve base64-encoded files or parsed document chunks. This results in cross‑tenant exposure of knowledge‑base content, compromising the confidentiality of user data.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the QAnything product from Netease‑Youdao at version 2.0.0. No other versions or products are listed as impacted, and the CVE notes that the issue exists in that particular release.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.7 indicates a high severity, and while an EPSS score is not available, the lack of authentication control (CWE‑306) makes the attack path straightforward. An unauthenticated attacker can trigger the API endpoints over the network, enumerate resources, and retrieve content without any prior credential. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but its high impact and straightforward exploitation vector still pose a significant risk.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade QAnything to the latest patched release that resolves the authentication bypass.
  • If an upgrade cannot be applied immediately, restrict network access to the /api/local_doc_qa endpoints by firewall or network policy so that only authenticated or authorized traffic can reach them.
  • Implement or enforce a strict authentication and authorization check before processing any file retrieval requests to eliminate the missing authentication control outlined by CWE‑306.
