Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions 9Router versions prior to 0.4.80
Description The /api/settings/database endpoint allows for full database export and import without sufficient authentication. The endpoint is protected by the ALWAYS PROTECTED middleware, which only validates a JWT or CLI token, failing to require higher-level re-authentication for sensitive operations.
Technical details include:
  • API Endpoint: /api/settings/database
  • Export (GET): The exportDb() function retrieves the complete database, exposing plaintext API keys from the key field in the apiKeys table, as well as OAuth tokens and OIDC client secrets.
  • Import (POST): The importDb() function allows a complete database wipe-and-replace via a transaction, enabling an attacker to overwrite all settings, including password hashes, to gain full control of the system.
Recommendations Update to version 0.4.80. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the /api/settings/database endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation.
