UTMStack before 11.2.16 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows remote attackers to gain full administrative API access by presenting a valid Utm-Internal-Key header matching the INTERNAL_KEY environment variable value, which the InternalApiKeyFilter accepts for any endpoint without path restriction, constant-time comparison, rate limiting, or audit logging. Attackers who obtain the key value can authenticate without a user account or JWT to create accounts, manage users, exfiltrate data, and modify security rules.

What to do

  1. 01Check whether you run UTMStack, and which version.
  2. 02Follow the vendor advisory for a fix or a workaround.
