Cross-user private agent use via unauthorized fork
Published Jun 28, 2026 · Updated Jun 28, 2026
Incorrect authorization in Khoj 2.0.0-beta.0 through 2.0.0-beta.28 allows remote authenticated users to use another user's private agent. The share flow stores conversation.agent in a public conversation, and the fork flow copies it into the recipient's conversation without reauthorizing access. Exploitation requires one user to share a conversation and another authenticated user to fork it; private agent behavior can cross user boundaries, but normal document search blocks private knowledge retrieval.
