Summary
Vulnerability in Network-AI (versions 5.0.0-5.12.1) in the ApprovalInbox component. The HTTP server lacks authentication and sets Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, allowing anyone who can send an HTTP request (including websites in the operator's browser) to approve pending high-risk actions without human consent.
Risk Assessment
The organization risks execution of dangerous operations (e.g., shell commands) without human oversight, potentially leading to unauthorized system changes.
Recommendation
Update Network-AI to version 5.12.2 and configure a secret key for ApprovalInbox. Ensure the server listens only on 127.0.0.1.
Other vulnerabilities in Network-AI
See all- CVE-2026-109332Low
Network-AI (npm network-ai) before 5.15.2 contains an origin validation error in McpSseServer._handleRequest in lib/mcp-transport-sse.ts that reflects localhost Origins into Access-Control-Allow-Origin regardless of bind interface. When the server binds a non-loopback address, an attacker page with a localhost Origin visited by a victim can read unauthenticated endpoints like /health cross-origin.
- CVE-2026-109331High
Network-AI from 5.14.0 before 5.15.2 contains a security control bypass vulnerability in the ClaudeHookBridge PreToolUse hook, which matches deny patterns only against the first present candidate field. A prompt-injected agent can place dangerous payloads in fields like Write content or an MCP script parameter beside a benign file_path or command, evading denyPatterns to write web shells or execute scripts.
- CVE-2026-54051Critical
Vulnerability in Network-AI (TypeScript/Node.js) before version 5.9.1 allows bypassing the shell command allowlist. An attacker can execute arbitrary commands by injecting special characters (e.g., `;`).
- CVE-2026-109330Medium
Network-AI 5.0.0 before 5.15.2 contains a cross-site WebSocket hijacking vulnerability in DashboardServer that allows remote attackers to read live agent topology because handleUpgrade performs no Origin or token validation. Attackers can lure a victim running the dashboard to a malicious page that opens a WebSocket to the loopback dashboard and exfiltrates agent IDs, roles, task descriptions, and token budgets.
- CVE-2026-73615High
Network-AI before version 5.15.1 contains a security matcher bypass vulnerability where SandboxPolicy evaluates raw command strings with quotes preserved while the executor tokenizes commands by stripping quotes before execution. Attackers can craft quoted commands that evade blocklist checks and approval gates while the executor runs the identical unquoted dangerous argv.
- CVE-2026-73614High
Network-AI ClaudeHookBridge before 5.15.1 truncates the target string to 500 characters before evaluating denyPatterns, while Claude Code executes the full untruncated command. Attackers can position dangerous content past byte 500 in a Bash command field to bypass the operator's hard-deny list and execute arbitrary commands.
- CVE-2026-58484High
In Network-AI (TypeScript/Node.js multi-agent orchestrator) before version 5.12.2, a vulnerability was found where the 'path' field in backup manifest files is trusted. An attacker can place a malicious manifest, causing arbitrary file or directory deletion during backup pruning.
- CVE-2026-58481Medium
Vulnerability in Network-AI (versions before 5.12.2) in the file sandbox mechanism. Path checks rely on string prefix matching, allowing an agent to read files from sibling directories with similar names (e.g., /tmp/network-ai-sandbox_evil) outside the intended sandbox.
- CVE-2026-58414Medium
Vulnerability in Network-AI (versions before 5.12.2) in the environment backup function. The _collectBackupFiles() function follows symbolic links, allowing an attacker to place a symlink to an external directory and copy its contents into the backup archive.
- CVE-2026-58413Medium
Vulnerability in Network-AI (versions before 5.12.2) in the environment restore function. The restore() function does not verify that the backup path is within the allowed directory, allowing a backup ID with ../ sequences to restore files from arbitrary directories.
Original NVD description (English source)
Network-AI, a TypeScript/Node.js multi-agent orchestrator, has a shipped, exported, documented feature called `ApprovalInbox` (`lib/approval-inbox.ts`). It is the network surface of the human-in-the-loop Approval Gate, which `ApprovalGate` uses to require explicit human approval for high-risk operations. The HTTP server it exposes has no authentication of any kind and sets `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` on every route, including the state-changing `POST /approvals/:id/approve` and `/deny`. As a result, in versions 5.0.0 through 5.12.1, any party who can send an HTTP request to the inbox port — a co-located process, a container/SSRF on the same host, a remote client when the operator binds a non-loopback address, or any website the operator visits in a browser (via the wildcard CORS) — can enumerate pending approvals and approve them, defeating the entire human-in-the-loop control and causing the gated high-risk action (e.g. a shell command the agent was holding for review) to execute without consent. This issue is fixed in v5.12.2. `ApprovalInbox` now accepts a `secret` option. When set, the mutating endpoints `POST /:id/approve` and `POST /:id/deny` require an `Authorization: Bearer <secret>` header, validated in constant time with `crypto.timingSafeEqual`. `startServer()` already binds to `127.0.0.1` by default; operators exposing the inbox on a network must set a secret.
