GHSA-C7HF-C5P5-5G6H
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-12 14:47 – Updated: 2026-03-13 13:35Summary
The GET /api/badge/:id/ping/:duration? endpoint in server/routers/api-router.js does not verify that the requested monitor belongs to a public group. All other badge endpoints check AND public = 1 in their SQL query before returning data. The ping endpoint skips this check entirely, allowing unauthenticated users to extract average ping/response time data for private monitors.
Affected Code
File: server/routers/api-router.js, approximately line 304
The ping badge endpoint directly calls UptimeCalculator.getUptimeCalculator(requestedMonitorId) without first checking if the monitor is public. Compare with the status badge endpoint (~line 148) which correctly queries:
SELECT monitor_group.monitor_id FROM monitor_group, `group`
WHERE monitor_group.group_id = `group`.id
AND monitor_group.monitor_id = ?
AND public = 1
Protected vs Vulnerable Endpoints
| Endpoint | Has public=1 check? |
|---|---|
| /api/badge/:id/status | Yes |
| /api/badge/:id/uptime/:duration? | Yes |
| /api/badge/:id/avg-response/:duration? | Yes |
| /api/badge/:id/cert-exp | Yes |
| /api/badge/:id/response | Yes |
| /api/badge/:id/ping/:duration? | No — vulnerable |
PoC
- Install Uptime Kuma (tested on latest v2 stable via Docker)
- Create an HTTP(s) monitor (e.g., monitoring http://localhost:3001)
- Do NOT add the monitor to any public status page or group
- Wait for heartbeats to accumulate (~5 minutes)
- Query unauthenticated:
curl http://localhost:3001/api/badge/1/status → returns N/A (correct, monitor is private)
curl http://localhost:3001/api/badge/1/ping/24 → returns "Avg. Ping (24h): 10ms" (LEAKED)
Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can: - Enumerate private monitor IDs - Extract average response time data for private monitors - Infer existence and reachability of internal monitored services
Suggested Fix
Add the same public monitor check before the UptimeCalculator call:
let publicMonitor = await R.getRow(`
SELECT monitor_group.monitor_id FROM monitor_group, \`group\`
WHERE monitor_group.group_id = \`group\`.id
AND monitor_group.monitor_id = ?
AND public = 1
`, [requestedMonitorId]);
if (!publicMonitor) {
badgeValues.message = "N/A";
badgeValues.color = badgeConstants.naColor;

Mitigation
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
CAPEC-665: Exploitation of Thunderbolt Protection Flaws
An adversary leverages a firmware weakness within the Thunderbolt protocol, on a computing device to manipulate Thunderbolt controller firmware in order to exploit vulnerabilities in the implementation of authorization and verification schemes within Thunderbolt protection mechanisms. Upon gaining physical access to a target device, the adversary conducts high-level firmware manipulation of the victim Thunderbolt controller SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) flash, through the use of a SPI Programing device and an external Thunderbolt device, typically as the target device is booting up. If successful, this allows the adversary to modify memory, subvert authentication mechanisms, spoof identities and content, and extract data and memory from the target device. Currently 7 major vulnerabilities exist within Thunderbolt protocol with 9 attack vectors as noted in the Execution Flow.
