AI Analysis

Impact

A flaw in SmythOS sre allows attackers to manipulate the X-DEBUG-RUN and X-DEBUG-INJ HTTP headers, causing the AgentRuntime component to skip or incorrectly verify authentication. This results in an authentication bypass that can be exploited to gain unauthorized access to protected resources. The weakness originates from insufficient validation of custom header values, corresponding to CWE-287.

Affected Systems

SmythOS sre versions up to and including 0.0.15 are affected. The vulnerability resides in the AgentRuntime functionality of the HTTP Header Handler.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw carries a CVSS score of 6.9, indicating moderate severity, and has an EPSS score of less than one percent, suggesting a low likelihood of exploitation at present. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. However, the vendor has not released a fix, and the vulnerability can be triggered externally by sending crafted HTTP requests, so defenders should treat it as a potential threat.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Configure the web server or reverse proxy to block or strip the X-DEBUG-RUN and X-DEBUG-INJ headers from incoming requests.
  • Monitor vendor communications for an official patch and apply it when available.
  • If an unofficial community patch becomes available, test it in a non‑production environment before deploying.
