Description
An Improper Authentication vulnerability in the /api/Cdn/GetFile endpoint of linqi allows unauthenticated, remote attackers to bypass file access controls. The ValidateAnonFileAccess function incorrectly grants access if an 'AnonFile' query parameter containing exactly 256 characters is provided. While this flaw allows bypassing the intended authorization check, the actual security impact is negligible; the exposed resources are strictly limited to minified JavaScript and CSS files that contain no sensitive data and are already publicly accessible via a standard CDN.

AI Analysis

Impact

An improper authentication flaw resides in the /api/Cdn/GetFile endpoint of the linqi application. The ValidateAnonFileAccess function mistakenly permits file access when an 'AnonFile' query parameter of precisely 256 characters is supplied. This bypass lets unauthenticated, remote attackers retrieve requested files without needing valid credentials. The vulnerability only exposes minified JavaScript and CSS assets, which are already publicly reachable through the CDN and contain no confidential information. Therefore, the direct security impact is minimal, though the flaw demonstrates a weakness in the authentication logic.

Affected Systems

The affected vendor is linqi GmbH, product linqi. No specific version information is disclosed in the advisory.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 6.9, categorizing the vulnerability as medium severity. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Likely, the attack vector is remote, via HTTP requests to the /api/Cdn/GetFile endpoint. Attackers require no credentials or other prerequisites beyond the valid query parameter length. While the exploit is straightforward, the limited commercial value of the compromised resources reduces the overall risk to the organization.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor's patch as soon as it becomes available.
  • Reconfigure the web server or CDN to deny access to /api/Cdn/GetFile unless proper authentication is present, effectively blocking the bypass parameter.
  • Monitor traffic for requests containing a 256‑character 'AnonFile' query string and investigate any anomalous activity.
