## Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the AI Agent API endpoint (POST `/apps/:appId/agent`) due to a lack of authentication, missing CSRF validation, and insufficient authorization middleware. By chaining these flaws, an unauthenticated remote attacker can execute arbitrary database operations with 'master key' privileges. Additionally, a cache key collision between the master key and the read-only master key was identified. The issue affects the opt-in AI Agent feature in versions 7.3.0-alpha.42 through 9.0.0-alpha.7. A fix is available in version 9.0.0-alpha.8 which implements proper authentication and per-app authorization.
