{"id":"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 \u003csecret\u003e` 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.","aliases":["GHSA-mxjx-28vx-xjjj"],"modified":"2026-08-15T11:45:14.636663452Z","published":"2026-07-20T16:38:55.576Z","database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/58xxx/CVE-2026-58482.json","cna_assigner":"GitHub_M","cwe_ids":["CWE-352","CWE-862"]},"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"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/jovancoding/network-ai","events":[{"introduced":"c7891a948d643c22fb40ae36ac05174fd1bf0e5b"},{"fixed":"a59c13a1f0ce0e8a0779a90343eef92fac5ab4c3"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"5.0.0"},{"fixed":"5.12.2"}],"source":["AFFECTED_FIELD","CPE_RANGE","REFERENCES"],"cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:network-ai:network-ai:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"}}],"versions":["v5.12.1","v5.12.0","v5.11.0","v5.10.2","v5.10.1","v5.10.0","v5.9.1","v5.9.0","v5.8.9","v5.8.8","v5.8.7","v5.8.6","v5.8.5","v5.8.4","v5.8.3","v5.8.2","v5.8.1","v5.8.0","v5.7.2","v5.7.1","v5.7.0","v5.6.1","v5.6.0","v5.5.9","v5.5.8","v5.5.7","v5.5.6","v5.5.5","v5.5.4","v5.5.3","v5.5.2","v5.5.1","v5.5.0","v5.4.5","v5.4.4","v5.4.3","v5.4.2","v5.4.1","v5.4.0","v5.3.2","v5.3.1","v5.3.0","v5.2.2","v5.2.1","v5.2.0","v5.1.4","v5.1.3","v5.1.2","v5.1.1","v5.1.0","v5.0.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-58482.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N"}]}
