AgenticMail gives AI agents real email addresses and phone numbers. In @agenticmail/api prior to version 0.9.64, a low-privileged authenticated AgenticMail agent can enumerate another agent's pending/claimed tasks by supplying the target agent name to GET /api/agenticmail/tasks/pending?assignee=. The returned task objects include the task IDs and payloads. The same task IDs can then be used with the capability-style task mutation endpoints (/tasks/:id/claim, /tasks/:id/result, /tasks/:id/complete, /tasks/:id/fail) to claim, complete, or fail tasks assigned to a different agent. Because ordinary authenticated agents can discover agent names through GET /api/agenticmail/accounts/directory, the task ID effectively stops being a secret capability. This turns the intended capability model into a cross-agent authorization bypass. Version 0.9.64 contains a fix.
CVE-2026-57494
This high-severity CVE scores 7.1 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.2%, top 87% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
