CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The vulnerability in Activepieces allows authenticated users to access step-file attachments belonging to other tenants due to inadequate audience verification of JWT tokens and a missing null-check on the fileId. While the access is read-only and does not impact integrity or availability, it poses a risk of unauthorized data exposure. Organizations using versions prior to 0.83.0 should prioritize upgrading to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description

Activepieces is an open source AI workflow automation platform. Prior to 0.83.0, the /v1/step-files/signed download endpoint verified the supplied JWT against the shared signing secret but did not check the token's audience, and combined with a missing null-check on the decoded fileId, this allowed any caller holding any valid Activepieces JWT (including a freshly created user's own access token) to receive a step-file belonging to another tenant. The file returned was whatever PostgreSQL happened to scan first for type = FLOW_STEP_FILE, varying over time as the database changed, so an authenticated user could obtain step-file attachments belonging to other tenants on the same instance; the attacker could not target a specific victim or file, and the access was read-only with no integrity or availability impact. This issue is fixed in version 0.83.0.
