  "details": "### Summary\nDagu\u0027s default configuration ships with authentication disabled. The `POST /api/v2/dag-runs` endpoint accepts an inline YAML spec and executes its shell commands immediately with no credentials required \u2014 any dagu instance reachable over the network is fully compromised by default.\n\n### Details\n`internal/service/app/config/loader.go:226` sets `AuthModeNone` as the default. With no auth mode configured, `internal/frontend/api/v2/handlers/api.go:520` returns `nil` from `requireExecute()` \u2014 all permission checks pass without a valid session.\n\nThe `POST /api/v2/dag-runs` endpoint accepts a `spec` field containing a full YAML DAG definition. The spec is parsed and the commands execute immediately on the host with no validation beyond YAML parsing.\n\n### PoC\n```bash\ncurl -s -X POST http://TARGET:8080/api/v2/dag-runs \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d \u0027{\"name\":\"poc\",\"spec\":\"steps:\\n  - name: rce\\n    command: id \u003e /tmp/pwned\\n\"}\u0027\n# Response: {\"dagRunId\":\"\u003cuuid\u003e\"}\n# /tmp/pwned contains: uid=1000(dagu) gid=1000(dagu)\n```\nConfirmed on `ghcr.io/dagu-org/dagu:latest` with no configuration changes.\n\n### Impact\nEvery dagu deployment using default settings \u2014 every Docker deployment, every install following the documentation, every instance without explicit `DAGU_AUTH_MODE` configuration \u2014 is fully compromised without credentials. An attacker with network access gets OS command execution as the dagu process user.",
