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
Microsoft UFO open-source framework for intelligent automation across devices and platforms. In 3.0.1-4-ge2626659, Microsoft UFO accepts client-supplied session_id values in WebSocket task messages and reuses an existing in-memory session object if that session_id already exists. If a prior session has completed and remains in memory with populated results, a different authenticated client can send a new TASK message using the same session_id. The server re-enters the existing session object and sends the stale stored result to the new requester through the normal send_task_end() callback path. This is an authenticated cross-client stale result replay issue. The issue requires that the attacker knows or can predict a live or recently completed session_id.

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 · high confidence

Microsoft UFO framework accepts client-supplied session_id values in WebSocket messages and reuses existing in-memory session objects when the same session_id is presented. If a prior session completed but remains in memory with results, an authenticated attacker knowing the session_id can send a new TASK message and receive stale cached results intended for the original client, enabling cross-client result replay.

MitigationImplement server-generated session IDs with proper validation, clear session data immediately after task completion, or invalidate sessions after use to prevent stale result replay.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Microsoft UFO framework installation
    Search for UFO-related packages, modules, or services in your environment. Check for 'ufo', 'microsoft ufo', or related process/service names running on the system.
    Affected if The Microsoft UFO framework is present and running in your environment.
  2. Verify WebSocket endpoint exposure
    Review your UFO framework configuration for exposed WebSocket endpoints. Check network listener configuration or proxy settings for WebSocket upgrade paths (ws:// or wss:// URLs handling session-based communications).
    Affected if WebSocket endpoints are exposed and accepting connections with session_id parameters.
  3. Inspect session ID generation mechanism
    Examine the UFO framework source code or configuration for how session_id values are handled. Determine if session IDs are server-generated (secure) or client-supplied (vulnerable). Look for session ID validation logic in the WebSocket message handler.
    Affected if Session IDs are accepted from clients without server-side generation or validation.
  4. Check session persistence configuration
    Review session management settings to determine how long session objects remain in memory after task completion. Look for session timeout, cache TTL, or cleanup interval configurations.
    Affected if Sessions or cached results remain in memory after the original task completes.
  5. Test for result replay vulnerability
    If you have an authenticated session, complete a task to generate results, note the session_id, then send a new TASK message with the same session_id from a different connection. Observe if stale results are returned.
    Affected if The same session_id from different connections returns cached results from a prior completed session.

Your environment is affected if Microsoft UFO framework is running with WebSocket endpoints that accept client-supplied session IDs and retain session objects in memory after task completion, allowing cross-client result replay.
