CVE-2026-55501

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

9Router is an AI router & token saver. Prior to 0.4.80, the dashboard login rate limiter in src/lib/auth/loginLimiter.js derives the client identity from the attacker-controlled X-Forwarded-For HTTP header, and src/app/api/auth/login/route.js uses that spoofable value for checkLock and recordFail. A remote attacker can rotate the X-Forwarded-For value on each login attempt to receive a fresh rate-limit bucket, bypass the 5-attempt threshold and progressive lockout durations, and perform unlimited brute-force attempts against the dashboard password. This issue is fixed in version 0.4.80.

Antes de la versión 0.4.80, el limitador de velocidad de inicio de sesión del panel de control en src/lib/auth/loginLimiter.js deriva la identidad del cliente del encabezado HTTP X-Forwarded-For controlado por el atacante, y src/app/api/auth/login/route.js utiliza ese valor falsificable para checkLock y recordFail. Un atacante remoto puede rotar el valor de X-Forwarded-For en cada intento de inicio de sesión para recibir un nuevo cubo de límite de velocidad, eludir el umbral de 5 intentos y las duraciones de bloqueo progresivas, y realizar intentos ilimitados de fuerza bruta contra la contraseña del panel de control. Este problema está solucionado en la versión 0.4.80."
