CVE-2026-6585: SuperAGI Authorization Bypass Vulnerability

CVE-2026-6585 Overview

A vulnerability has been identified in TransformerOptimus SuperAGI up to version 0.0.14 that allows remote attackers to bypass authorization controls. The vulnerability exists in the update_organisation function within the file superagi/controllers/organisation.py of the Organisation Update Endpoint component. By manipulating the organisation_id argument, an attacker can bypass authorization checks and potentially modify organization data they should not have access to.

Critical Impact

Remote attackers with low privileges can bypass authorization controls to modify organization settings, potentially compromising the integrity and availability of the SuperAGI platform.

Affected Products

• TransformerOptimus SuperAGI versions up to and including 0.0.14
• SuperAGI Organisation Update Endpoint component
• Systems running vulnerable superagi/controllers/organisation.py

Technical Details for CVE-2026-6585

Vulnerability Analysis

This authorization bypass vulnerability (CWE-285: Improper Authorization) allows authenticated users with low privileges to manipulate the organisation_id parameter in requests to the Organisation Update Endpoint. The update_organisation function fails to properly validate whether the requesting user has the appropriate permissions to modify the specified organization's data.

The vulnerability is remotely exploitable and requires only low-level authentication, making it accessible to any user with basic access to the SuperAGI system. While the confidentiality impact is limited, successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized modifications of organization settings and potential service disruption.

Root Cause

The root cause is improper authorization logic in the update_organisation function within superagi/controllers/organisation.py. The function does not adequately verify that the authenticated user has legitimate authority over the target organization before processing update requests. This allows users to supply arbitrary organisation_id values and modify organizations they should not have access to.

Attack Vector

The attack is conducted remotely over the network against the Organisation Update Endpoint. An attacker with low-privilege access to the SuperAGI platform can craft malicious requests that manipulate the organisation_id parameter to target organizations outside their authorized scope.

The exploitation flow involves:

1. An attacker authenticates with basic user credentials to the SuperAGI platform
2. The attacker identifies the Organisation Update Endpoint
3. By manipulating the organisation_id parameter in the update request, the attacker can target arbitrary organizations
4. The vulnerable function processes the request without proper authorization validation
5. The attacker successfully modifies organization data they should not have access to

The exploit has been publicly disclosed. Technical details are available in the GitHub Gist Exploit Code and the VulDB Vulnerability Details.

Detection Methods for CVE-2026-6585

Indicators of Compromise

• Unusual API requests to the Organisation Update Endpoint with mismatched organisation_id values
• Audit logs showing users modifying organizations they are not members of
• Multiple failed or successful organization update attempts from single user accounts targeting different organizations

Detection Strategies

• Monitor API access logs for requests to /organisation endpoints with suspicious organisation_id parameter manipulation
• Implement anomaly detection for users attempting to access or modify multiple organizations in short timeframes
• Review application logs for authorization failures or unexpected successful modifications in the organisation controller

Monitoring Recommendations

• Enable verbose logging on the SuperAGI Organisation Update Endpoint to capture all organisation_id parameters in requests
• Set up alerts for organization modifications performed by users who are not organization administrators
• Implement real-time monitoring of API traffic for patterns consistent with authorization bypass attempts

How to Mitigate CVE-2026-6585

Immediate Actions Required

• Restrict access to the Organisation Update Endpoint to trusted administrators only until a patch is available
• Implement additional network-level access controls to limit exposure of the vulnerable endpoint
• Audit existing organization configurations for any unauthorized modifications
• Review access logs to identify potential exploitation attempts

Patch Information

At the time of disclosure, the vendor (TransformerOptimus) was contacted but did not respond. No official patch is currently available for this vulnerability. Users should monitor the official SuperAGI repository and security advisories for future updates. Additional information can be found in the VulDB Submission Report.

Workarounds

• Implement a reverse proxy or API gateway with custom authorization rules to validate organisation_id ownership before requests reach the vulnerable endpoint
• Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious parameter manipulation in organisation update requests
• Restrict network access to the SuperAGI API to trusted IP addresses only
• Consider temporarily disabling the Organisation Update Endpoint if organization modifications are not critical to operations

# Example: Restrict access to the organisation endpoint using nginx
location /v1/organisation {
    # Allow only trusted admin IPs
    allow 10.0.0.0/8;
    allow 192.168.1.0/24;
    deny all;
    
    # Pass to backend
    proxy_pass http://superagi_backend;
