CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The Termix web-based server management platform is vulnerable due to improper access control in the GET /host/db/host/:id/password endpoint, allowing authenticated users to retrieve plaintext SSH or sudo passwords of other users. This critical flaw enables attackers to enumerate host IDs and access sensitive credentials, potentially compromising managed systems. Organizations using Termix prior to version 2.6.1 should prioritize immediate updates to mitigate this severe security risk.

Original NVD Description

Termix is a web-based server management platform with SSH terminal, tunneling, and file editing capabilities. Prior to 2.6.1, the GET /host/db/host/:id/password endpoint in src/backend/database/routes/host.ts accepts an authenticated user's numeric host ID and the field=password or field=sudoPassword query without enforcing host ownership during credential resolution. A failed requester-scoped lookup can resolve the host with the owner's context and return the owner's plaintext credential, allowing any authenticated user with a valid JWT to enumerate sequential hosts.id values and retrieve SSH or sudo passwords belonging to other users. The disclosed credentials can then be used to access and control managed systems outside the Termix instance. This issue is fixed in version 2.6.1.
