{"id":"CVE-2026-58482","aliases":["GHSA-mxjx-28vx-xjjj"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-58482","summary":"Network-AI: ApprovalInbox HTTP server has no authentication — anyone can approve pending agent actions","details":"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.","published":"2026-07-20T16:38:55.576Z","modified":"2026-08-15T11:45:14.636663452Z","cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N"},"epss":{"score":0.00159,"percentile":0.05378,"asOf":"2026-09-07"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"network-ai","fixedVersion":"5.12.2"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/Jovancoding/Network-AI/commit/a59c13a1f0ce0e8a0779a90343eef92fac5ab4c3","label":"Jovancoding/Network-AI@a59c13a"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/Jovancoding/Network-AI/releases/tag/v5.12.2"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/58xxx/CVE-2026-58482.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/Jovancoding/Network-AI/security/advisories/GHSA-mxjx-28vx-xjjj"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-58482"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/Jovancoding/Network-AI/commit/a59c13a1f0ce0e8a0779a90343eef92fac5ab4c3"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-15T11:45:14.636663452Z"}}
