Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-862.
Summary
AI Agent Automation is a modular AI agent workflow automation platform with schedulers, tools, and observability. Prior to 0.9.1, backend/src/controllers/memory.controller.js authenticates requests but listMemories, deleteMemory, and clearAgentMemory use a caller-supplied agentId or memory _id without verifying through the related Agent that the record belongs to req.user. An authenticated attacker who knows or obtains another user's identifiers can read victim AgentMemory content, including conversation history, agent context, task data, embeddings, and metadata, delete an individual victim memory, or clear all memory belonging to a victim agent. This breaks tenant isolation and causes unauthorized disclosure and data loss. This issue is fixed in version 0.9.1.
