CVE-2026-39699
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 · uneditedMissing Authorization vulnerability in massiveshift AI Workflow Automation ai-workflow-automation-lite allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects AI Workflow Automation: from n/a through <= 1.4.2.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceMissing authorization in massiveshift AI Workflow Automation (ai-workflow-automation-lite) allows attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. Users can potentially access resources or perform actions they are not authorized for, due to missing or insufficient permission checks in the workflow automation component.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the installed version of ai-workflow-automation-liteCheck the package.json file, version command-line output, or the application's about/version page to determine the exact version number running in your environmentAffected if The installed version is 1.4.2 or any earlier version (1.x.x up to 1.4.2)
-
Locate the security configuration settingsExamine the application configuration files or admin settings panel where security levels, access control, or permission settings are definedAffected if Security level or access control settings are set to a level that permits unauthorized access to protected resources or functionalities
-
Identify all accessible API endpoints or functional modulesReview the application's API documentation, enumerate available routes/endpoints, or examine the codebase for endpoint definitionsAffected if The application exposes endpoints or functionalities that should require authorization but lack proper access control validation
-
Verify authorization enforcement on protected resourcesInspect the application's code or configuration to confirm that authorization checks are implemented before granting access to sensitive resources or administrative functionsAffected if Authorization validation is missing, disabled, or incorrectly implemented for any protected functionality
-
Check for role-based access control (RBAC) implementationExamine whether the application implements RBAC or similar authorization mechanisms, and verify that role assignments are properly enforced on endpointsAffected if The application lacks RBAC enforcement or allows access to resources without validating user roles or permissions
You are affected if you are running ai-workflow-automation-lite version 1.4.2 or earlier AND the application exposes any resources or functionalities without proper authorization checks enforced.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement proper authorization checks across all endpoints and actions in the workflow automation system, ensuring users can only access resources and execute operations for which they have explicit permissions.
