Technical details
A missing authentication vulnerability exists in JeecgBoot versions 3.9.0 and 3.9.1 within the AI Chat Module. The root cause is located in the 'sendWithDefault()' method of 'AiragChatServiceImpl.java', which fails to verify a user's authentication status before loading default AI tools. Because the '/airag/chat/send' endpoint is annotated with '@IgnoreAuth' to support public embedding, unauthenticated attackers can use natural language prompts to trigger sensitive business tools such as 'add_user', 'query_all_roles', and 'grant_user_roles'. This can lead to unauthorized administrative access and full system compromise. A patch has been developed to enforce authentication checks before these sensitive tools are loaded.
