Affected packages
• npm neotoma: >= 0.13.0, < 0.14.0 → fixed in 0.14.0
Description
Summary
The `/list_relationships` and `/retrieve_graph_neighborhood` endpoints call `getAuthenticatedUserId` (confirming a valid session exists) but do not pass the resolved user ID into the Supabase query as an `.eq("user_id", userId)` filter. As a result, queries return rows from all users rather than scoping to the authenticated caller's data.
Affected code
`/list_relationships` (`src/actions.ts`):
• Calls `getAuthenticatedUserId` but does not apply `.eq("user_id", userId)` to the relationships query
• Uses `.or()` string interpolation for entity ID matching without input validation
`/retrieve_graph_neighborhood` (`src/actions.ts`):
• Same pattern: auth resolved, user ID not applied to query filter
Affected versions
v0.13.0
Prerequisites
1. A valid authentication token for the Neotoma instance (attacker must have a legitimate account on the same instance)
2. A known entity ID belonging to another user (~96 bits of entropy — brute-force not practical)
An unauthenticated caller is rejected at the auth middleware layer. The gap requires a second user account on the instance.
Impact
An authenticated user with a known cross-user entity ID can retrieve relationship edges and graph neighborhood data belonging to another user. No write capability is exposed.
Severity
Low under current conditions — no multi-tenant deployments exist. Escalates to Medium the moment two or more user accounts share an instance.
Remediation
1. Add `.eq("user_id", userId)` to all Supabase queries in both handlers
2. Validate entity ID inputs with `isNeotomaEntityId` before query construction
3. Replace `.or()` string interpolation with separate scoped `.eq()` calls
Fix tracked in #365 (list_relationships) and #366 (retrieve_graph_neighborhood). Gate gap tracked in #372.
