## What is CVE-2026-64622?

CVE-2026-64622 is a critical missing authorization vulnerability in Jovancoding Network-AI, published on 20 Jul 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Network-AI (npm: network-ai) versions 5.12.2 through 5.13.3 fail to apply the configured authorization check (checkAuth/secret) to the ApprovalInbox GET read routes, so even when an operator configures a secret, unauthenticated actors can access sensitive approval request details. The GET /approvals/?status=all, GET /approvals/:id, GET /approvals/stats, and GET /approvals/sse routes disclose full ApprovalEntry content including action/target shell-command strings, file paths, justifications, and risk levels. All responses also carry a hardcoded Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * header, enabling cross-origin disclosure from any website the operator visits. This is an incomplete fix for GHSA-mxjx-28vx-xjjj.

Weakness: CWE-862 (Missing Authorization)
