AI-suggested
Until a fix is available, restrict access to the CAPEv2 REST API to trusted users only and monitor for unauthorized task deletions.
Description
CAPEv2 through commit 471ee4b fails to validate task ownership in REST API endpoints, allowing authenticated users to read and delete analyses submitted by other users. Attackers can enumerate all tasks in the system and delete arbitrary analyses by sending requests to task view and delete endpoints without ownership verification.
