Technical details

A missing authorization check (CWE-862) in the '_handle_sessions_search' handler in 'api/routes.py' allows authenticated users to bypass profile isolation. The vulnerable component queried 'all_sessions()' directly without applying the '_profiles_match' filtering logic used by other endpoints. An attacker can send crafted requests to the '/api/sessions/search' endpoint to retrieve session metadata and transcript message content from profiles other than their own active profile. The vulnerability is resolved in version 0.51.269 by enforcing active-profile scoping by default unless an explicit aggregate opt-in is requested.
