Executive Summary

CVE-2026-16017 is a missing authorization flaw in the mosaxiv clawlet up to version 0.2.10. The vulnerability affects the cron chat tool's list and remove functions in tools/tool_cron.go. It allows authenticated users to manipulate jobs created by others without proper checks. The issue stems from the tool storing ownership metadata but failing to enforce it during operations.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check for unauthorized access to the cron tool's list/remove functions in mosaxiv clawlet versions up to 0.2.10. Monitor logs for unexpected job deletions or listings across different user sessions. Verify if the cron tool stores and enforces job ownership metadata correctly.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could list and delete scheduled jobs of other users, disrupting reminders, workflow triggers, or automation tasks. This cross-session interference enables unauthorized access to shared cron jobs, potentially causing data loss or operational disruptions for affected users.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could potentially impact compliance with GDPR and HIPAA by enabling unauthorized access to user data. The missing authorization in the cron tool may allow attackers to view or delete scheduled tasks, which could include sensitive reminders or workflows. This could lead to unauthorized data exposure or disruption of services, violating principles of data protection and integrity required by these regulations.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade mosaxiv clawlet to a version beyond 0.2.10 where the authorization flaw is fixed. If upgrading is not possible, restrict access to the cron tool's list/remove functions and implement session-based ownership checks for job operations.
