CVE-2026-57206
HIGH 8.6SimpleChat is a secure AI conversation application with personal and group workspaces for document-grounded interactions. Prior to 0.241.206, several plugin validation routes in application/single_app/plugin_validation_endpoint.py, including `POST /api/admin/plugins/test-instantiation`, `GET /api/admin/plugins/health-check/<plugin_name>`, `POST /api/admin/plugins/repair/<plugin_name>`, and `POST /api/plugins/validate`, relied on @swagger_route(security=get_auth_security()) documentation without enforcing @login_required, @user_required, or @admin_required at runtime, allowing unauthenticated or unauthorized clients to invoke plugin validation, health, and repair behavior. This issue is fixed in version 0.241.206.
Severe if exploited (CVSS 8.6), but no known exploitation and low modeled probability. Patch on a normal cadence.
