Technical details

An improper access control vulnerability (CWE-284/CWE-200) exists in the Research Export component of HKUDS AI-Trader. The endpoint `/api/research/agents.csv` failed to require authentication, allowing any network-based attacker to perform bulk data scraping. Exposed data includes internal Agent IDs and precise financial balances. While some fields were hashed, the lack of an authentication gate facilitated unauthorized information disclosure. The issue was addressed in commit 91a31aac1b0f4dbc6b8bef9f6eff0b7912e0bc65 by requiring the 'research_exports' capability for authenticated agents.
