Description
we-mp-rss through 1.5.3 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in the /api/v1/wx/tools/export/download endpoint that allows unauthenticated attackers to download export archives because its authentication dependency is commented out. Attackers can supply an mp_id and guessable timestamp-based export filename to retrieve archives under data/docs, and set delete_after_download=true to delete them.

Impact

We‑mp‑rss versions through 1.5.3 contain a missing authentication check on the /api/v1/wx/tools/export/download endpoint. The authentication dependency was commented out, allowing any requester to supply an mp_id and a predictable, timestamp‑based filename and download export archives located under data/docs. Additionally, the delete_after_download flag can trigger removal of the archive. This flaw permits unauthenticated download of potentially sensitive content and the ability to delete exported files, leading to confidentiality compromise and data loss.

Affected Systems

The affected product is the we‑mp‑rss application maintained by rachelos, impacting all releases up to and including version 1.5.3. No specific patch version is listed, so any instance running 1.5.3 or earlier without the authentication guard is vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS v3 score is 6.3, reflecting a medium‑severity flaw that enables remote unauthenticated access. EPSS score is <1%, indicating a very low probability of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Attackers can exploit the exposed endpoint via a standard network request to retrieve or delete export archives. The exploit requires minimal effort beyond discovery of the endpoint and construction of a valid filename, indicating a relatively low barrier to exploitation for threat actors with network reach to the target.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to a version of we‑mp‑rss that restores authentication for the export/download endpoint or apply a patch that re‑enables the authentication dependency
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, disable or protect the /api/v1/wx/tools/export/download URL using a firewall rule or reverse proxy to require authentication headers
  • Remove or rename the data/docs export directory or change its permissions so that unprivileged users cannot access the stored archives
