Description
Flame through 2.4.0 contains an information exposure vulnerability in the unauthenticated GET /api/config endpoint that returns the entire configuration object without field redaction.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability allows an attacker to retrieve the entire configuration object from the Flame application via the unauthenticated GET /api/config endpoint. The response contains sensitive data such as weather API keys and internal settings, enabling unauthorized use of provider quotas or illicit access to operational details.

Affected Systems

Flame, produced by pawelmalak, is affected for all releases up to and including version 2.4.0.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 classifies this as a moderate severity flaw. Because the endpoint is unauthenticated, an attacker can exploit it simply by sending a single HTTP GET request, with no additional privileges required. EPSS is not available, and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, which suggests limited current exploitation activity but still warrants attention.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply a patch or upgrade the Flame application to a version that removes or redacts the GET /api/config endpoint.
  • If an immediate patch is not feasible, restrict access to the /api/config route by implementing authentication or firewall rules to prevent unauthenticated requests.
  • Audit existing configuration files to ensure no sensitive credentials are inadvertently exposed through other means and consider rotating or reissuing any compromised keys.
