CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

Kotaemon versions up to 0.12.0 are vulnerable due to inadequate validation of conversation ownership in key functions, allowing attackers to access other users' chat histories, delete conversations, or rename them by manipulating conversation identifiers. This poses a significant risk to user privacy and data integrity. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize patching to mitigate potential unauthorized access and data breaches.

Original NVD Description

Kotaemon through 0.12.0 fails to properly validate conversation ownership in select_conv, delete_conv, rename_conv, and on_set_public_conversation functions in control.py. Attackers can read other users' chat histories, delete conversations, or rename conversations by supplying arbitrary conversation identifiers without proper authorization checks.
