This vulnerability is AI-related — categorised as AI Agent Protocols and Integrations; in the Supply Chain and Deployment risk domain.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 AC-4 (Information Flow Enforcement) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2026-2286 is a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability, classified under CWE-918, affecting the CrewAI software. The issue resides in the RAG search tools, which do not properly validate URLs provided at runtime, enabling unauthorized content acquisition from internal and cloud services. Published on 2026-03-30, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), marking it as critical due to its network accessibility, low attack complexity, and lack of required privileges or user interaction.
A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability over the network with no user interaction needed. By supplying crafted URLs to the RAG search tools, the attacker can induce CrewAI to fetch content from restricted internal services or cloud resources, potentially compromising sensitive data (high confidentiality impact), modifying systems (high integrity impact), or disrupting availability (high availability impact).

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly mitigates SSRF by requiring validation of runtime-provided URLs in RAG search tools to prevent unauthorized requests to internal and cloud services.
Enforces information flow control policies that restrict CrewAI from accessing unauthorized internal or cloud resources induced by crafted URLs.
Monitors and controls outbound communications at system boundaries to block or detect SSRF attempts targeting internal services.
