@steipete/summarize allows local attackers to read bearer tokens and API credentials stored in ~/.summarize/daemon.json

GHSA-qp7v-gjgg-4mj6 · CVE-2026-45222

Published · Modified

Description

Summarize versions through 0.14.1, fixed in commit 0cfb0fb, creates the daemon configuration directory and file with default filesystem permissions that may be world-readable on Unix-like systems, allowing local attackers to read bearer tokens and API credentials stored in ~/.summarize/daemon.json. A local attacker can exploit these permissive permissions to read the daemon bearer token and persisted provider credentials, enabling unauthorized access to the daemon or recovery of sensitive API keys.
