Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

CVE published 13 Sep 2024
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2024-6087, organizations should first verify if they are using affected versions of lunary-ai/lunary and monitor vendor communications for official patches or updates. In the absence of patches, restrict the ability to invite users to highly trusted administrators only, minimizing the attack surface. Implement strict monitoring and alerting on invitation and password reset activities to detect suspicious patterns such as invite retractions followed by password resets. Enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all user accounts to reduce the risk of account takeover even if credentials are compromised. Review and harden token lifecycle management by invalidating invite tokens immediately upon retraction and ensuring tokens cannot be reused. Conduct regular access reviews and audit logs for unusual behavior. Additionally, educate users about phishing and social engineering risks that could compound the impact of compromised accounts.

Description

An improper access control vulnerability exists in lunary-ai/lunary at the latest commit (a761d83) on the main branch. The vulnerability allows an attacker to use the auth tokens issued by the 'invite user' functionality to obtain valid JWT tokens. These tokens can be used to compromise target users upon registration for their own arbitrary organizations. The attacker can invite a target email, obtain a one-time use token, retract the invite, and later use the token to reset the password of the target user, leading to full account takeover.

Impact

For European organizations using lunary-ai/lunary, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized account takeovers, exposing sensitive organizational data and potentially allowing attackers to impersonate legitimate users. The confidentiality breach could result in leakage of proprietary information, internal communications, or AI model data. Although the vulnerability does not directly affect system integrity or availability, compromised accounts could be leveraged for further lateral movement or social engineering attacks. Organizations in sectors with high reliance on AI collaboration platforms—such as technology firms, research institutions, and startups—face elevated risks. The medium severity rating reflects that while exploitation requires some privileges, the impact on confidentiality is high, making it a critical concern for protecting user identities and access controls. The absence of known exploits suggests a window for proactive mitigation before widespread abuse occurs.

The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data.
Architecture and Design
For each and every data access, ensure that the user has sufficient privilege to access the record that is being requested.
Architecture and Design · Implementation
Make sure that the key that is used in the lookup of a specific user's record is not controllable externally by the user or that any tampering can be detected.
Architecture and Design
Use encryption in order to make it more difficult to guess other legitimate values of the key or associate a digital signature with the key so that the server can verify that there has been no tampering.
