AI-suggested
A fix is available in danmu_api version 1.21.7. Users should upgrade to version 1.21.7 or later to remediate this vulnerability. Until patched, ensure that default TOKEN is not used and ADMIN_TOKEN is properly set to prevent exploitation.
Description
danmu_api versions before 1.21.7 have an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to modify server environment configurations if the default TOKEN is used and ADMIN_TOKEN is unset. Exploitation involves sending POST requests to specific API endpoints to set ADMIN_TOKEN, lock out legitimate operators, redirect server URLs potentially causing SSRF, and trigger redeployment.
