CWE Categorization
CWE-862: Missing authorization
Details
When a user starts an interactive session, a web terminal gets exposed to a random port. A threat actor can scan the ports until they find an open interactive session and access it without any authorization or prior authentication.
To reproduce this, we created a session with all settings set to default.
Then, we accessed the web terminal in a new tab
However, while simulating the threat actor, we access the same URL in an “incognito window” — eliminating any cache, cookies, or login credentials — we can still reach it, demonstrating the absence of proper authorization controls.
