A flaw was found in ChromaDB. All V1 collection-level endpoints in the Python project pass null values for tenant and database to the authorization layer. This allows a remote attacker to bypass authorization controls by utilizing these V1 endpoints. The primary consequence is unauthorized access, potentially leading to high impact on confidentiality and integrity of data. chromadb: ChromaDB: Authorization bypass in V1 collection-level endpoints This flaw is a post-authentication tenant-isolation bypass on ChromaDB’s V1 API — it does not grant unauthenticated access and does not enable code execution. RH AI products bundle a vulnerable chromadb version but do not run the Chroma Python FastAPI server as the default product API (AutoRAG uses Milvus/pgvector; RHEL AI bootc uses chromadb as a library). The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.
