Overview

9router is a 9Router CLI - Start and manage 9Router server

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Authentication via the dashboardGuard.js process. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive API endpoints by sending requests through a same-host reverse proxy that forwards public traffic to the backend using 127.0.0.1, causing external requests to be misclassified as local and bypassing authentication checks. This may allow abuse of configured upstream provider credentials through proxy endpoints depending on enabled providers.
