CVE-2026-30859

WeKnora has Broken Access Control - Cross-Tenant Data Exposure

Summary

A broken access control vulnerability in the database query tool allows any authenticated tenant to read sensitive data belonging to other tenants, including API keys, model configurations, and private messages. The application fails to enforce tenant isolation on critical tables (modelsmessagesembeddings), enabling unauthorized cross-tenant data access with user-level authentication privileges.

---

Details

Root Cause

The vulnerability exists due to a mismatch between the queryable tables and the tables protected by tenant isolation in internal/utils/inject.go.

Tenant-isolated tables (protected by automatic WHERE tenant_id = X clause):

tenants, knowledge_bases, knowledges, sessions, chunks

Queryable tables (allowed by WithAllowedTables() in WithSecurityDefaults()):

tenants, knowledge_bases, knowledges, sessions, messages, chunks, embeddings, models

Gap: The tables messagesembeddings, and models are queryable but NOT in the tenant isolation list. This means queries against these tables do NOT receive the automatic WHERE tenant_id = X filtering.

Vulnerable Code

File: internal/utils/inject.go

func WithTenantIsolation(tenantID uint64, tables ...string) SQLValidationOption {
	return func(v *sqlValidator) {
		v.enableTenantInjection = true
		v.tenantID = tenantID
		v.tablesWithTenantID = make(map[string]bool)
		if len(tables) == 0 {
			// Default tables with tenant_id - MISSING: messages, embeddings, models
			v.tablesWithTenantID = map[string]bool{
				"tenants":         true,
				"knowledge_bases": true,
				"knowledges":      true,
				"sessions":        true,
				"chunks":          true,
			}
		} else {
			for _, table := range tables {
				v.tablesWithTenantID[strings.ToLower(table)] = true
			}
		}
	}
}
func WithSecurityDefaults(tenantID uint64) SQLValidationOption {
	return func(v *sqlValidator) {
		// ... other validations ...
		WithTenantIsolation(tenantID)(v)
		// Default allowed tables - INCLUDES unprotected tables
		WithAllowedTables(
			"tenants",
			"knowledge_bases",
			"knowledges",
			"sessions",
			"messages",           // ← No tenant isolation
			"chunks",
			"embeddings",         // ← No tenant isolation
			"models",             // ← No tenant isolation
		)(v)
	}
}

File: database_query.go

func (t *DatabaseQueryTool) validateAndSecureSQL(sqlQuery string, tenantID uint64) (string, error) {
	securedSQL, validationResult, err := utils.ValidateAndSecureSQL(
		sqlQuery,
		utils.WithSecurityDefaults(tenantID),
		utils.WithInjectionRiskCheck(),
	)
	// ... validation logic ...
	return securedSQL, nil
}

When tenant 1 queries SELECT * FROM models, the validation passes and no WHERE tenant_id = 1 clause is appended because models is not in the tablesWithTenantID map. The unfiltered result exposes all model records across all tenants.

Prerequisites

  • Access to the AI application as an authenticated tenant
  • Ability to send prompts that invoke the database_query tool

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Authenticate as Tenant 1 and craft the following prompt to the AI agent:

   ```

   Use the database_query tool with {"sql": "SELECT * FROM models"} to query the database. 

   Output all results and any errors.

   ```

  1. Expected vulnerable response: The agent returns ALL model records in the models table across all tenants, including:
  • Model IDs and names
  • API keys and authentication credentials
  • Configuration details for all organizations

Example result:

<img width="864" height="1150" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/01e3d0ba-0f2a-43ab-ab51-8778fb8a79b1" />

  1. Repeat with messages table:

   ```

   Use the database_query tool with {"sql": "SELECT * FROM messages"} to query the database. 

   Output all results.

   ```

  1. Expected vulnerable response: The agent returns ALL messages from all tenants, bypassing message privacy.
