Unauthenticated API access via unchecked header
Published Aug 5, 2026 · Updated Aug 5, 2026
Authentication bypass in IoT-Group Rust IoT Platform version 0 and later allows remote attackers to access protected APIs. The AuthToken guard in api/src/main.rs accepts any Authorization header value without validating a session, stored token, signature, or claims. Network access to a route protected only by this guard permits unauthenticated reading or modification of the resources that route exposes.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
