GHSA-qvfm-67h2-2qfx: 9routers has Exposure of Sensitive Information and Unprotected Database Import/Export, Allowing Complete Credential Theft and Database Takeover

Summary The /api/settings/database endpoint allows full database export (containing all credentials, API keys, OAuth tokens, and settings) and full database import (complete overwrite) without any authentication requirement beyond the ALWAYS_PROTECTED middleware check, which only validates JWT or CLI token. Combined with other vulnerabilities (e.g., default password, tunnel exposure), this enables complete database takeover. Description The endpoint /api/settings/database is listed in ALWAYS_PROTECTED in dashboardGuard.js (line 42), which requires a valid JWT token or CLI token. However, this protection is insufficient because: 1. GET (Export): Returns the complete database including API keys (key field in apiKeys table), OAuth tokens, and all provider credentials. Line 80 in src/lib/db/index.js: apiKeys: db.all("SELECT * FROM apiKeys").map(...) — the key field contains the plaintext API key value. 2. POST (Import): Accepts arbitrary JSON and performs a complete database wipe-and-replace in a transaction (lines 102-163 in src/lib/db/index.js). This replaces all settings including the password hash, effectively allowing an attacker to set their own password. 3. The exported data includes apiKeys with their plaintext key values, providerConnections with all OAuth tokens, and settings with OIDC client secrets.
