CVE-2026-55418 – Cross-Tenant Unauthorized File Disclosure (IDOR) – FastGPT prior to v4.15.0-beta5

Summary

CVE-2026-55418 is a high-severity broken object-level authorization (IDOR) vulnerability in FastGPT, the open-source AI knowledge base and RAG platform developed by labring. Two file handler endpoints — the chat-file presign endpoint and the dataset preview endpoint — accept an S3 object key directly from the request without verifying that the key belongs to the requesting caller’s team, enabling any unauthenticated network attacker to read files belonging to other tenants. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 score of 8.6 (HIGH) and requires no authentication, no privileges, and no user interaction to exploit.

Technical details

  • Root cause: Both the chat-file presign endpoint and the dataset preview endpoint authorize an unrelated resource and then sign or read an S3 object using a key taken directly from the HTTP request. No ownership check is performed to confirm that the supplied key belongs to the requesting team. Because S3 object keys are globally scoped within the shared bucket — with the tenant identifier encoded only as a path segment — an attacker can freely substitute another tenant’s key.
  • Trigger conditions: An attacker supplies a known or guessed S3 object key belonging to a different team in a request to either vulnerable endpoint. No prior authentication or account access is required.
  • Attack vector: Remotely exploitable over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), and no user interaction (UI:N).
  • Impact: Full read access to private files — including knowledge base documents, uploaded datasets, and chat attachments — stored in another tenant’s S3 namespace. Scope is Changed (S:C) with High confidentiality impact (C:H) and no integrity or availability impact.
  • CWE: CWE-639 – Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key.

Affected software

  • FastGPT (labring/FastGPT): all versions prior to v4.15.0-beta5

Severity

  • CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 8.6 (HIGH)
  • Vector String: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N

Mitigation and recommended actions

  • Immediate action: Upgrade FastGPT to v4.15.0-beta5 or later. The fix (pull request #7104) binds S3 object keys to authenticated resources, ensuring that the key supplied in a request is validated against the requesting team before any presign or read operation is performed.
  • If immediate patching is not possible: Restrict network access to the FastGPT application to trusted networks or authenticated users only via a reverse proxy or firewall rule, reducing the unauthenticated attack surface until the patch can be applied.

IONIX Status

The IONIX research team is tracking ongoing exploitation attempts and recommends immediate patching. Potentially affected assets are outlined in this post.

How IONIX’s External Exposure Management Platform Detects and Validates
Zero-Days to Shrink MTTR

1

Map your entire attack surface (continously)

IONIX uses multi-factor discovery methods, including DNS analysis, certificate mapping, metadata inspection, and more, to automatically map every internet-facing asset across your environment. This includes cloud instances, third-party platforms, shadow IT, and even forgotten infrastructure that traditional tools miss.

2

Monitor for new CVEs

Dozens of threat intel feeds using agentic technology are continuously analyzed to detect the appearance of proof-of-concept code, exploit kits, and indicators of active targeting. IONIX goes further by applying AI to proactively evaluate whether emerging vulnerabilities are likely to be exploited, even before PoCs go public.

3

Identify Potential External Exposures

Not all CVEs matter. IONIX filters vulnerabilities by asking attacker-centric questions: Can it be reached from the internet? Does it require authentication? Is it being exploited in the wild? This dramatically reduces noise and focuses teams on threats that can actually be weaponized.

4

Create Safe, Scalable Exploit Validations

IONIX transforms real-world PoCs into safe, non-intrusive test payloads that can be run in production environments without disruption. These simulations are precisely targeted to the systems that are vulnerable, ensuring rapid validation without unnecessary load.

5

Execute Exploit Validations

By combining context about software stack, versioning, exposure status, and reachability, IONIX ensures that only the right payloads are executed against the right assets, maximizing efficiency and minimizing risk.

6

Drive Fast and Actionable Remediation

Results are routed through integrations with ticketing, SOAR, and SIEM tools. Issues are written in plain language, bundled into remediation clusters, and prioritized based on asset criticality, exploitability, and blast radius. This shortens mean time to remediation (MTTR) and empowers teams to act with confidence.
