CVE-2026-73219: CWE-1288: Improper Validation of Consistency within Input in cvat-ai cvat
CVAT is an open source interactive video and image annotation tool for computer vision. From 2.17.0 until 2.72.0, a user with write access to a CVAT job can submit a batch automatic annotation request to RequestViewSet.create with inconsistent task and job IDs, and because the task ID determines the single active request slot, block automatic annotation for another task whose ID is known. This issue is fixed in version 2.72.0.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVAT, an open source video and image annotation tool, has an input validation vulnerability (CWE-1288) affecting versions >=2.17.0 and <2.72.0. A user with write access to a CVAT job can submit a batch automatic annotation request to RequestViewSet.create with mismatched task and job IDs. Because the task ID controls the single active request slot, this can block automatic annotation requests for other tasks whose IDs are known. This flaw is resolved in version 2.72.0.
Potential Impact
An attacker with write access to a CVAT job can cause denial of service for automatic annotation on other tasks by exploiting the inconsistent validation of task and job IDs in batch annotation requests. This may disrupt annotation workflows but does not escalate privileges or allow unauthorized data access.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade CVAT to version 2.72.0 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other official remediation or temporary fixes are documented. Patch status is not explicitly stated but the fix is included in 2.72.0.
