CVE-2026-77517: MaxKB cross-knowledge IDOR lets a normal user read and modify documents and paragraphs in another knowledge base
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 21/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.23% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.
Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
MaxKB is an open-source AI assistant for enterprise. From version 2.0.0 through 2.10.2-lts, document and paragraph operate routes authorize only knowledge_id in the request path, then query the target Document by document_id or Paragraph by paragraph_id without confirming that the object belongs to that knowledge base. A normal workspace user with a known victim document or paragraph UUID can use an attacker-owned knowledge-base path to read or modify content in another user's knowledge base. No fixed version is available as of this review.
