Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-862: Missing Authorization, where the product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action. In OpenViking, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

OpenViking versions prior to 0.3.3 contain a missing authorization vulnerability in the task polling endpoints that allows unauthorized attackers to enumerate or retrieve background task metadata created by other users. Attackers can access the /api/v1/tasks and /api/v1/tasks/{task_id} routes without authentication to expose task type, task status, resource identifiers, archive URIs, result payloads, and error information, potentially causing cross-tenant interference in multi-tenant deployments.
