id: CVE-2024-9617

info:
  name: Danswer - Insecure Direct Object Reference
  author: s4e-io
  severity: medium
  description: |
    The application does not verify whether the attacker is the creator of the file, allowing the attacker to directly call the GET /api/chat/file/{file_id} interface to view any user's file.
  impact: |
    Authenticated attackers can access and view files belonging to other users without proper authorization checks through insecure direct object references, leading to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive chat files and data.
  remediation: |
    Update Danswer to a version that implements proper authorization checks to verify file ownership before allowing access through the GET /api/chat/file/{file_id} and GET /api/chat/get-chat-session endpoints.
