CVE intelligence and bounded remediation

CVE-2026-42456 — AnythingLLM is an application that turns pieces of content into context that any LLM can use as references during chatting

Medium CVSS 4.3

AnythingLLM is an application that turns pieces of content into context that any LLM can use as references during chatting. Prior to version 1.12.1, GET /api/workspace/:slug/tts/:chatId in AnythingLLM returns the text-to-speech audio for another user's chat response within the same workspace because the route validates workspace membership but does not enforce ownership of the targeted chat row. As a result, an authenticated user can access another user's private assistant response in audio form if the chatId is known or guessed. This constitutes an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) affecting private chat response content exposed through the TTS endpoint. This issue has been patched in version 1.12.1.

Authorization bypass, IDOR, and cross-tenant access

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Map object and action authorization checks across API, UI, batch, import/export, and background-job paths.
  • Identify tenant, ownership, role, and policy boundaries for affected resources and administrative operations.
  • Use synthetic fixtures to compare intended access matrices without accessing another user's real data.

Remediate safely

  • Enforce server-side authorization at each resource access and state transition using the authenticated principal and trusted tenant context.
  • Scope data queries by tenant and ownership; treat client-supplied identifiers, roles, and policy claims as untrusted.
  • Add deny-by-default policy tests for horizontal and vertical access across every affected transport.
