Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A weakness has been identified in zhayujie chatgpt-on-wechat CowAgent 2.1.0. This issue affects the function verify_server of the file channel/wechatmp/common.py of the component wx Endpoint. This manipulation of the argument wechatmp_token causes missing authentication. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. Upgrading to version 2.1.1 is capable of addressing this issue. Patch name: 3d7c68bac6ee74fad63f43cf99e45c62e202ed55. It is suggested to upgrade the affected component. The project confirms: "We've added an explicit non-empty check for wechatmp_token in verify_server() so that the /wx endpoint now fails closed with 403 Forbidden whenever the token is missing or left at the default empty value, instead of relying on a signature check that silently degenerates to a predictable hash."

dbcve analysis
How this class of weakness works · CWE-287

The mechanism that verifies who a user is can be side-stepped or fooled, letting an attacker act as someone they're not. Everything built on top of that identity then becomes untrustworthy. Fixing it means hardening the full authentication flow, including edge cases, tokens, and secondary paths.

Recommended fix High confidence

2.1.1

  1. Upgrade CowAgent from version 2.1.0 to version 2.1.1 to address the improper authentication vulnerability in the verify_server function
  2. If using a package manager, update to the latest release that includes version 2.1.1
  3. If using git, pull the latest changes or checkout version tag 2.1.1
  4. After upgrading, verify that the /wx endpoint returns 403 Forbidden when wechatmp_token is missing or empty rather than allowing authentication bypass
