Unauthenticated metadata disclosure via unchecked Auth-Key header
Published Aug 20, 2026 · Updated Aug 20, 2026
Authentication bypass in code100xDevs 100xDevs CMS 1.0 allows remote attackers to read protected course and video metadata. The withMobileAuth middleware treats any nonempty Auth-Key header as authorization and calls NextResponse.next without checking a server-side secret. No credentials or user interaction are required; the search route also trusts a caller-supplied g identity and returns protected titles and identifiers.
