Unauthenticated code execution via Referer spoofing
Published Feb 24, 2026 · Updated Feb 24, 2026
Authentication bypass in Frangoteam FUXA 1.2.8 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Node.js code over the network. The requireAuth middleware in server/api/jwt-helper.js treats a caller-controlled HTTP Referer value containing /fuxa as proof of an internal request, allowing access to /api/runscript without a valid JWT. No credentials or user interaction are required; a crafted request reaches the script runner and executes code with the FUXA server process's privileges.
