Description
9Router is an AI router & token saver. Prior to 0.5.2, 9router protects /v1, /v1beta, /api/v1, and /api/v1beta in src/dashboardGuard.js but omits /codex before next.config.mjs rewrites /codex/* to /api/v1/responses. A remote unauthenticated attacker can send requests to /codex/* to bypass the API-key gate and cause the server to make upstream provider calls using operator-stored LLM provider credentials. This issue is fixed in version 0.5.2.

AI Analysis

Impact

9Router prior to v0.5.2 enforces an API‑key guard on endpoints such as /v1 and /api/v1, but the path /codex is omitted from this check. Because next.config.mjs rewrites requests to /codex/* into /api/v1/responses, an unauthenticated attacker can target the /codex endpoint and bypass the guard entirely. The server then forwards the request to the upstream LLM provider using LM calls without authorization. The issue is fixed in release v0.5.2 and no other vendors or products are listed as affected.

Affected Systems

The affected product is 9router from decolua. All releases prior to version 0.5.2 are vulnerable. No other vendors or products are listed as affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.6 indicates a high severity for this flaw. The EPSS score is less than 1%, suggesting exploitation is unlikely but still possible. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is remote network access via HTTP; an unauthenticated user only needs to craft a request to /codex/* to trigger the attack.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to 9router v0.5.2 or later to apply the official fix.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, block external access to /codex/* using firewall or network rules to prevent unauthenticated requests.
  • Add an API‑key validation check on the /codex route so that authorization is enforced before forwarding requests to the LLM provider.
