AI-suggested

A fix is available in version 1.6.0 of ezBookkeeping. Operators should upgrade to this version or later. The root cause is the lack of setting trusted proxies in the Gin router configuration; setting trusted proxies correctly or upgrading to the fixed version will prevent the application from trusting arbitrary X-Forwarded-For headers. No other mitigation is required once patched.

Description

A vulnerability in github.com/mayswind/ezbookkeeping allows remote attackers to bypass source-IP allowlists configured for MCP and API token access by sending a spoofed X-Forwarded-For header. The application uses the Gin framework without setting trusted proxies, causing it to trust the attacker-supplied header as the client IP. This bypasses IP-based access controls and causes audit logs to record the spoofed IP instead of the attacker's real IP, undermining non-repudiation. The issue affects versions from 0.10.0 up to but not including 1.6.0 and is fixed in version 1.6.0.
