CVE-2026-49994: CWE-306: Missing Authentication for Critical Function in dannymcc bluehood
Bluehood monitors local bluetooth activity. Prior to version 0.7.1, when auth_enabled is set in Bluehood, only the HTML page handlers enforced session validation. The /api/* handlers (settings, devices, groups, per-device endpoints including /api/device/{mac}/notes) called no auth check at all. A network attacker reachable on the dashboard port could read Bluetooth tracking data and modify application state — including the heartbeat URL, prune retention, device groups, and per-device notes — without a session cookie. This issue has been patched in version 0.7.1.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-49994 is a missing authentication vulnerability (CWE-306) in the Bluehood application by dannymcc. Before version 0.7.1, although HTML page handlers enforced session validation when auth_enabled was set, the /api/* endpoints did not perform any authentication checks. This allowed an attacker on the network with access to the dashboard port to read sensitive Bluetooth tracking data and modify application state such as heartbeat URL, retention pruning, device groups, and per-device notes without requiring a session cookie. The vulnerability has been patched in Bluehood version 0.7.1.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated network attacker can access and modify sensitive Bluetooth tracking data and application settings without any session authentication. This compromises confidentiality and integrity of the monitored data and application state. The CVSS 3.1 score is 9.1 (critical), reflecting high impact on confidentiality and integrity with no user interaction or privileges required.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade Bluehood to version 0.7.1 or later, where the missing authentication checks on /api/* handlers have been fixed. This official fix addresses the vulnerability by enforcing proper session validation on all relevant endpoints.
