NVD description

Soft Machine is a Virtual Machine–based agentic development environment / Cloud OS. In versions 0.2.247 and prior, two authentication helpers in /app/server.js — verifyContainerAuth() and authenticateWorkspaceHttp() — accept the global CONTAINER_SHARED_SECRET as a bearer token without verifying which workspace the caller belongs to. Because that secret is set identically on every container in the Fly app and is reachable from the user-facing process environment inside each workspace, any tenant can use it to authenticate to any other tenant's workspace API. The result is cross-workspace read, write, and destructive-restore primitives reachable from any paying customer's shell. The existing per-workspace token check (workspaceTokenMatches) protects the user-facing per-workspace token path, but the shared-secret bearer path bypasses it entirely. At time of publication, there are no publicly known patches.

🚨Critical - Soft Machine Cross-Workspace AuthZ Bypass via Shared Bearer Secret (CVE-2026-55176) Soft Machine auth helpers accept the global CONTAINER_SHARED_SECRET as a bearer token without enforcing workspace membership checks. Since the secret is shared across containers and exposed inside each workspace env, a tenant can call other tenants’ workspace APIs for cross-workspace read/write and destructive restore actions. 👉Affected: Soft Machine (security package, all versions; no patch available)
