Authenticated account tampering via unchecked user API
Published Aug 26, 2026 · Updated Aug 27, 2026
Incorrect access control in Cohere North AI 1.1.5 allows remote authenticated users to modify or delete account data through the user API. The /api/internal/v1/users/{USER_ID} endpoint accepts crafted PUT and DELETE requests without verifying authorization for the targeted resource or revalidating sensitive field changes. A valid bearer token is required; successful requests can change names or email addresses without verification or delete the caller's account.
