Executive Summary

CVE-2026-124574 is an improper authorization vulnerability in chenyme grok2api up to version 3.1.6. It affects the video job retry handler where the system fails to enforce client key account scope restrictions during retries. Instead of using the client key's restricted scope, the retry worker uses an unscoped account selection method, allowing unauthorized access to accounts outside the permitted scope.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check if your grok2api version is below 3.1.7. Run: docker ps or systemctl list-units --type=service | grep grok2api to identify running instances. Then execute grok2api version or check the version in the admin console to confirm if it is vulnerable.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability could allow a client key restricted to specific providers or tiers to consume accounts outside its configured scope if the originally assigned account fails during a retry. For example, a Super-tier restricted key might access Free-tier accounts, potentially leading to unauthorized resource usage or quota consumption.

Mitigation Strategies
  • Upgrade grok2api to version 3.1.7 or later immediately to patch the vulnerability.
  • Review and restrict client key account scopes to ensure they align with intended access levels.
  • Monitor video job retries for unauthorized account access attempts or failures.
