Unauthenticated administrative access via h2c upgrade
Published Mar 11, 2026 · Updated Mar 11, 2026
Authentication bypass in AdGuard Home before 0.107.73 allows remote attackers to access administrative APIs via an h2c upgrade. The h2c handler in internal/home/web.go passes upgraded connections to an inner mux that lacks the authentication middleware applied outside it. A request to a public path can therefore establish a credential-free HTTP/2 session that reads or changes DNS configuration and other administrative data.
