FUXA provides guest and invalid-token access to protected read APIs in secure mode
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| npm | fuxa-server | >= 1.3.0-2773, < 1.3.1 | 1.3.1 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Summary
When `secureEnabled=true`, FUXA `1.3.0-2773` still allows guest and invalid-token requests to read project, alarms, and scheduler APIs.
### Details
In secure mode, requests with no token or an explicitly invalid token were still able to access protected read endpoints.
Confirmed behavior:
- guest `GET /api/project` returned `200 OK`
- invalid-token requests to `/api/project` also returned successful responses containing project data
- guest and invalid-token requests also returned `200 OK` on:
- `/api/alarms`
- `/api/scheduler`
Relevant code paths identified during analysis:
- `server/api/jwt-helper.js`
- `verifyToken()` converts missing-token or invalid-token states into guest context instead of rejecting the request
- `server/api/projects/index.js`
- `server/api/alarms/index.js`
- `server/api/scheduler/index.js`
These handlers accepted the guest context and returned sensitive data in secure mode.
### PoC
Tested only against isolated local lab instances under the original tester's control. No production, customer, shared, or third-party systems were involved.
Reproduction:
1. Start FUXA `1.3.0-2773`.
2. Set `secureEnabled=true`.
3. Send unauthenticated requests to:
- `GET /api/project`
- `GET /api/alarms`
- `GET /api/scheduler?id=test`
4. Observe `200 OK` responses.
5. Send the same requests with an explicitly invalid `x-access-token` value.
6. Observe the same successful responses.
The exact HTTP requests and local PoC script used for confirmation can be provided upon request.
### Impact
This is an authentication/authorization weakness in secure mode.
Impact includes:
- project metadata disclosure
- alarms disclosure
- scheduler information disclosure
- assistance in reconnaissance/follow-on attacks
Operators who believe secure mode protects these APIs are impacted.
