GCVE-110-CERTCC-2026-383552

### Overview Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in The Librarian, an AI-powered personal assistant tool provided by the company [TheLibrarian.io](https://thelibrarian.io/). The Librarian can be used to manage personal email, calendar, documents, and other information through external services, such as Gmail and Google Drive, and also summarize meetings and schedule emails. The vulnerabilities are among internal tools that The Librarian uses during its normal functions. These tools, `view_document`, `web_fetch`, and `image_generate`, allow an authenticated user * access to the administrative console * internal web crawling and port scanning of the internal infrastructure for thelibrarian.io * disclosure of the internal system prompt for The Librarian All vulnerabilities have since been fixed by thelibrarian.io, and the tools have now been deprecated. ### Description TheLibrarian.io is an AI company that offers the namesake AI-powered personal assistant tool, "The Librarian". This assistant can perform a variety of services and can integrate with other external applications. Some of these abilities include calendar management, sending email, and document management. Integratable services include Google products such as Gmail and Google Drive. A series of vulnerabilities have been discovered within The Librarian that enable an attacker to access the internal infrastructure of TheLibrarian.io, including the administrator console and cloud environment. They also permit disclosure of the internal system prompt, web crawling, log access, and viewing of internal processes that infrastructure for TheLibrarian.io is running. Below is a list of all the vulnerabilities and respective CVE IDs assigned to them. **VU#383552.1** The Librarian `image_generation` tool can be used to disclose the full system prompt through requesting an image to be generated with the embedded system prompt. **VU#383552.2** The Librarian `view_document` tool can be used to disclose the full system prompt through requesting the system prompt be appended to a document that is uploaded to the system. **CVE-2026-0612** The Librarian contains a information leakage vulnerability through the `web_fetch` tool, which can be used to retrieve arbitrary external content provided by an attacker, which can be used to proxy requests through The Librarian infrastructure. **CVE-2026-0613** The Librarian contains an internal port scanning vulnerability, facilitated by the `web_fetch` tool, which can be used with SSRF-style behavior to perform GET requests to internal IP addresses and services, enabling scanning and metadata retrieval of the Hertzner cloud environment that TheLibrarian uses. **CVE-2026-0615** The Librarian `supervisord` status page can be retrieved by the `web_fetch` tool, which can be used to retrieve running processes within The Librarian backend. **CVE-2026-0616** The Librarian's `web_fetch` tool can be used to retrieve the `Adminer` interface content, which can then be used to log in to the internal backend system of The Librarian. ### Impact An attacker who exploits these vulnerabilities could control a wide variety of aspects of the internal infrastructure for TheLibrarian.io. This could include process control, lateral movement, and credential theft. CVE-2026-0614, CVE-2026-0615, and CVE-2026-0616 are largely responsible for this potential impact. VU#383552.1 to VU#383552.4 allow for exploitation and potential misuse of the capabilities of The Librarian, and could result in jailbreaks or unintended actions by the AI. ### Solution The vendor has stopped the `web-fetch` tool from being able to retrieve dangerous content. Web-retrieval is now handled by a third-party service. The vendor also stated that: "prompt content is not a secrecy boundary in our threat model" in regard to system prompt disclosure. ### Acknowledgements Thanks to the reporter, Aaron Portnoy of Mindgard.ai.
