Unauthenticated administrator impersonation via spoofed forwarding headers
Published Aug 26, 2026 · Updated Aug 26, 2026
Authentication bypass in TarsCloud TarsWeb 3.0.14 and earlier allows remote attackers to impersonate administrators over HTTP. app.js makes Koa accept caller-supplied X-Forwarded-For as ctx.ip, and ssoMidware.js assigns ctx.uid from the uid query parameter when that address matches loopback. Network access to the HTTP service is sufficient; the request needs no credentials and gains the named account's console permissions, including administrative control.
