AI Analysis

Impact

A flaw in newpanjing SimpleUI’s AjaxAdmin AJAX endpoint allows an attacker to invoke the self.get_action function without authentication. Because the code does not verify user credentials before executing privileged actions, malicious callers can perform any administrative operation, potentially exposing sensitive data or altering system state. The weakness is a classic authentication bypass (CWE-287) combined with missing authorization control (CWE-306).

Affected Systems

The newpanjing simpleui version 2026.01.13 is affected. Any deployment that includes the AjaxAdmin feature is at risk; earlier or later releases may not contain the flaw.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates a medium-to-high severity, while the EPSS score of <1% shows a very low probability of exploitation. Nonetheless, a publicly available exploit exists, and because the endpoint is reachable over the network, attackers can remotely exploit the vulnerability without local access. The CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the presence of a working exploit and the ease of remote access warrant prompt action.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to a non‑vulnerable release of SimpleUI or apply a vendor‑provided patch when it becomes available.
  • If upgrading is not feasible, disable or restrict access to the AjaxAdmin AJAX endpoint, confining traffic to trusted IP ranges or localhost.
  • Enforce authentication at the application level before executing admin actions, such as validating session tokens or user roles.
  • Monitor logs for unauthorized requests to the endpoint and investigate anomalous activity promptly.
