Summary

CVE-2024-12048 is a high-severity Missing Critical Step in Authentication (CWE-304) vulnerability in Superagi Superagi. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 49th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-24 (Access Control Decisions) and AC-3 (Access Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

An IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference) vulnerability exists in transformeroptimus/superagi version v0.0.14. The application fails to properly check authorization for multiple API endpoints, allowing attackers to view, edit, and delete other users' information without proper authorization. Affected endpoints include but…

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Enforcing approved authorizations on every access request structurally stops a user-controlled key from reaching another user's data.

IA-2 requires unique identification and authentication of users, directly mandating that all critical authentication steps be performed rather than skipped.

IA-8 requires unique identification and authentication of non-organizational users, ensuring the full authentication process is executed without missing steps.

Requiring explicit access-control decisions on each request blocks unauthorized key-driven access.

IA-5 enforces proper authenticator lifecycle steps (verification, distribution, revocation) so that no required step in the authentication technique is omitted.

Least-privilege restrictions limit the scope of data reachable even if a key check is bypassed.

PR.AA-05 full match
prevents

Enforcing authorization policy and least privilege directly blocks user-controlled key tampering that bypasses access checks.

PR.AA-03 mostly match
prevents

Requiring complete authentication (e.g., MFA, password policy) directly stops omission of critical steps in the auth process.

PR.IR-01 mostly match
prevents

Logical access controls prevent unauthorized data access that results from missing authorization checks on object references.

PR.AA-02 partial match
prevents

Proper identity proofing and credential binding prevents skipping enrollment steps that weaken authentication.

degrades

Mandates secure authentication mechanisms, explicitly addressing missing steps in authentication flows.

degrades

Directly requires secure management of authentication credentials and processes, preventing skipped critical steps.

finds

Security testing can detect missing authorization checks but does not prevent the weakness in production.

prevents

Information access restriction explicitly enforces that users may only retrieve data they are authorized to see, directly addressing user-controlled key bypass.

prevents

Access control policy directly requires enforcement of authorization rules that prevent unauthorized access via manipulated keys.

prevents

Managing access rights includes ensuring users can only access their own records and not bypass authorization by altering identifiers.
