Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the /api/internal/v1/users/{{USER_ID}} endpoint of Cohere North AI v1.1.5, which suffers from improper authorization validation (CWE-284). An authenticated attacker can send crafted PUT or DELETE requests to modify sensitive profile fields (email, name, nickname) or delete the user account without triggering ownership verification or proper permission checks. The attack requires valid authentication credentials and network access to the API endpoint. Successful exploitation allows an attacker to take over accounts, manipulate user identity, or cause denial of service by deleting accounts. Patch availability has not been confirmed in the advisory.
