Unauthenticated SSH credential disclosure via proxy IP trust
Published Oct 1, 2025 · Updated Oct 6, 2025
Authentication bypass in Termix before 1.6.0 allows remote attackers to read stored SSH host addresses, usernames, and passwords. The isLocalhost check trusts req.ip behind Nginx, reads the loopback proxy address as the client address, and authorizes /ssh/db/host/internal. The unauthenticated disclosure is reachable when the official Docker image, its Dockerfile, or another reverse proxy presents the backend with the proxy's loopback address.
