Summary
### Summary `GET /v1/contributors/:login/profile` and the `gittensory_get_contributor_profile` MCP tool skip the contributor-scoped access check that every sibling endpoint enforces. Any authenticated session/API/MCP token holder can read any contributor's profile; for confirmed Gittensor miners that exposes `alphaPerDay`, `taoPerDay`, `usdPerDay` (and the `hotkey` on the REST path). Authenticated cross-contributor disclosure, CWE-284 / IDOR. ### Details In `src/api/routes.ts` the profile handler returns `buildContributorProfile(...)` with no `requireContributorAccess` call. Every sibling (`/decision-pack`, `/repos/:owner/:repo/decision`, etc.) gates and 403s on a cross-contributor request — the profile route is the only omission. `buildContributorProfile` (`src/signals/engine.ts`) embeds `hotkey` and the three `*PerDay` fields for any confirmed miner. The MCP tool `getContributorProfile` (`src/mcp/server.ts`) also omits `requireContributorAccess`. Its `redactSensitiveForMcp` filter only strips keys matching `hotkey|coldkey|wallet|private_key|privateKey|mnemonic`, so the hotkey is dropped but `alphaPerDay`/`taoPerDay`/`usdPerDay` pass through. The codebase treats these as secret everywhere else — `decision-pack.ts` destructures the hotkey out before serving, and three sanitizers scrub hotkey/wallet from AI/comment output — which is why this is an oversight, not by-design. Exposure: REST → hotkey + 3 financial fields; MCP → 3 financial fields (hotkey redacted). ### PoC 1. Get any valid session/API/MCP token. 2. Pick a target `login` that is a confirmed miner. 3. `GET /v1/contributors/{target}/profile` → 200 with `gittensor.hotkey`, `alphaPerDay`, `taoPerDay`, `usdPerDay`. 4. `GET /v1/contributors/{target}/decision-pack` (same token) → 403, proving the missing gate. 5. MCP `gittensory_get_contributor_profile` with `{target}` → result includes the three `*PerDay` fields. ### Impact Any token holder can enumerate other miners' daily TAO/alpha/USD revenue (plus hotkey via REST) without authorization. All miners with snapshot data are affected.
