CVE-2024-5386
📋 TL;DR
In lunary-ai/lunary version 1.2.2, a privilege escalation vulnerability allows users with 'viewer' role to hijack other user accounts by obtaining password reset tokens. This occurs when viewer-role users send specific requests that leak recovery tokens, enabling unauthorized password resets. All organizations using the vulnerable version are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- lunary-ai/lunary
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete account takeover of any user, including administrators, leading to data theft, system compromise, and privilege escalation across the entire platform.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to user accounts, potential data exposure, and privilege escalation within the application.
If Mitigated
Limited impact if proper access controls and monitoring are in place, but still represents a serious authentication bypass.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit requires viewer-level credentials; the vulnerability is well-documented in public references with specific request patterns.

Monitor password reset requests
allImplement logging and alerting for password reset token generation and usage.
# Configure application logging to capture all password reset events
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement network segmentation to isolate lunary instances from critical systems
- Enforce multi-factor authentication for all user accounts
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if running lunary version 1.2.2 and test if viewer-role users can access password reset tokens via API requests.Check Version:
Check lunary version in application settings or via package manager: npm list lunary-ai/lunaryVerify Fix Applied:
After patching, verify that viewer-role users cannot obtain password reset tokens for other accounts.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual password reset requests from viewer-role users
- Multiple password reset attempts for different accounts from same source
Network Indicators:
- API requests to password reset endpoints from unauthorized roles
- Unusual patterns in authentication-related traffic
