Impact
The vulnerability lies in the isAuthenticated function of the HTTP Header Handler, where an attacker can manipulate the Host header to bypass authentication. This allows an unauthenticated user to gain access to the dashboard component, potentially exposing sensitive configuration information. The weakness corresponds to improper authorization (CWE-266 and CWE-285).
Affected Systems
All installations of decolua 9router version 0.4.0 or earlier are vulnerable. The issue is limited to the dashboardGuard module in the HTTP Header Handler. A fix is available in release 0.4.1, which includes commit 428e2c045cb9c0eb8080e8b580471a9c2eaa95ca.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a moderate severity. The EPSS score is not provided, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting it is not widely exploited yet. Exploitation requires making a remote HTTP request to a target running the vulnerable component with a crafted Host header. No local privileges are necessary, and the attack can be performed from any network accessible to the server.
