CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedFUXA versions 1.3.2 and earlier are vulnerable due to a flaw in the authorization process that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to exploit the Node-RED editor and flow deployment API. This can lead to unauthorized access and control over project data, configurations, and potentially execute operating system commands if certain modules are enabled. Organizations using FUXA should prioritize upgrading to version 1.3.3 to mitigate this critical vulnerability.

Original NVD Description
FUXA is a web-based Process Visualization (SCADA/HMI/Dashboard) software. In 1.3.2 and earlier, the allowDashboard authorization gate in server/integrations/node-red/index.js calls authJwt.verify for /nodered without inspecting the decoded identity. When nodeRedEnabled is true, secureEnabled is true, and nodeRedAuthMode is secure, a remote unauthenticated attacker can obtain a signed guest token from POST /api/heartbeat and use it to access the RED.httpAdmin editor and flow deployment API. Because the Node-RED configuration has no second adminAuth gate, the attacker can deploy function nodes or invoke fuxa.runScript and runtime.scriptsMgr.runScript, gaining control of FUXA project data, configuration, scripts, filesystem-capable runtime helpers, and potentially operating-system commands when nodeRedUnsafeModules is enabled. This issue is fixed in version 1.3.3.
