Unauthenticated Docker management via trusted-header spoofing
Published Jul 13, 2026 · Updated Jul 13, 2026
Improper authentication in Will Moss Isaiah 1.36.0 through 1.36.9 allows remote attackers to access Docker management via a forged proxy header. The /ws connection hook in app/main.go accepts the configured forward-proxy header and marks the session authenticated without verifying a trusted proxy source. Exploitation requires forward-proxy authentication plus direct backend reachability or a proxy that preserves client-supplied headers, exposing authenticated Docker data and operations.
