Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from insufficient access controls on the /config/list
endpoint. The GitHub patch shows the critical change was adding admin=True
to the @BaseHandler.auth
decorator for the list
method. Before the fix (v0.43.1b1
), this endpoint only required basic authentication but not admin privileges, exposing configuration data when user passwords were not set. The direct correlation between the vulnerability description, CWE-200
classification, and the specific authentication decorator modification in the commit confirms this function's role in the vulnerability.
