AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2025-69985, organizations should immediately upgrade FUXA to a version where this vulnerability is patched once available. In the interim, restrict access to the /api/runscript endpoint by implementing network-level controls such as firewall rules or VPN-only access to limit exposure to trusted internal users. Disable or remove the vulnerable jwt-helper.js middleware if feasible or replace the Referer header validation with robust JWT token verification that does not rely on easily spoofed HTTP headers. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious Referer header spoofing attempts targeting the API. Conduct thorough code reviews and penetration testing to identify similar insecure trust assumptions in other parts of the application. Monitor logs for unusual API access patterns and unauthorized code execution attempts. Finally, implement strict Node.js runtime security controls such as sandboxing and least privilege execution to limit the impact of potential code execution vulnerabilities.

Description

FUXA 1.2.8 and prior contains an Authentication Bypass vulnerability leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE). The vulnerability exists in the server/api/jwt-helper.js middleware, which improperly trusts the HTTP "Referer" header to validate internal requests. A remote unauthenticated attacker can bypass JWT authentication by spoofing the Referer header to match the server's host. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to access the protected /api/runscript endpoint and execute arbitrary Node.js code on the server.
