GHSA-VV3H-7QWR-722V

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-11 15:33 – Updated: 2026-03-24 21:11

Summary

Anytype Heart's gRPC API client challenge verification can be bypassed on localhost

Details

Impact

The challenge-based authentication for the local gRPC client API can be bypassed, allowing an attacker to gain access without the 4-digit code.

Affected components: - Anytype Desktop (all platforms) ≤ v0.48.2 - Anytype-CLI (headless deployments) ≤ v0.1.9

Not affected: - Anytype mobile apps (iOS, Android) - do not expose a local gRPC server

Who is impacted: This vulnerability is scoped to localhost. The gRPC and gRPC-Web ports bind to 127.0.0.1 only and are not exposed to the local network or internet.

Exploitation requires:

Local user-level access to the machine running Anytype
Discovery of the randomized listening port
A running Anytype instance

Anytype-CLI headless deployments may be at higher risk only if an administrator has chosen to set up their own reverse proxy and configured it in a way that exposes gRPC or gRPC-Web ports to an external network. By default, these ports are not externally accessible and there is no built-in mechanism to expose them.

Patches

anytype-heart library: v0.48.4
Anytype Desktop: v0.54.5
Anytype-CLI: v0.1.11

Workarounds

Desktop users: No immediate action required. The vulnerability requires existing local access to the machine.
Anytype-CLI administrators: If using a custom reverse proxy, ensure it does not expose gRPC or gRPC-Web ports to external networks.

Severity ?

3.6 (Low)
