CVE-2026-105792: Microsoft UFO deadlock in task result endpoint

CVE-2026-105792 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-06

Microsoft UFO is an intelligent automation framework that runs tasks across devices and platforms. A flaw in the task result API endpoint allows an authenticated attacker to deadlock the server's event loop by requesting results for a specially crafted task name, causing the server to become unresponsive to all HTTP, WebSocket, and background operations until restarted.

Technologies: Microsoft UFO. Vendors: Microsoft.

Technical details

The /api/task_result/{task_name} endpoint in ufo/server/services/session_manager.py attempts to acquire a non-reentrant lock twice when processing a task name that maps to an existing session—first in get_result_by_task() and again in the nested get_result() call—causing a deadlock. An authenticated attacker who knows or creates a mapped task name can trigger this condition. In the default single-process server configuration, the blocked event-loop thread prevents other requests and background tasks from executing.
