Description
Summary
The unaccess handler (controller/unaccess.go) contains a logical error in its ownership guard: when a frontend record has environment_id = NULL (the marker for admin-created global frontends), the condition short-circuits to false and allows the deletion to proceed without any ownership verification. A non-admin user who knows a global frontend token can call DELETE /api/v2/unaccess with any of their own environment IDs and permanently delete the global frontend, taking down all public shares routed through it.
Attack Vector: Network — the endpoint is a standard HTTP API call.
Attack Complexity: High — successful exploitation requires prior knowledge of a global frontend token. These tokens are not returned to non-admin users by any standard API endpoint; obtaining one requires an out-of-band step (e.g., leaked server logs, admin documentation for a self-hosted instance, or social engineering).
Privileges Required: Low — a valid user account with at least one registered environment is required; no admin privileges needed.
User Interaction: None.
Scope: Unchanged — the impact stays within the same server instance.
Confidentiality Impact: None — no data is disclosed.
Integrity Impact: None — no data is improperly modified; the record is deleted (not corrupted).
Availability Impact: High — deleting a global frontend disrupts every public share routed through it on the instance, constituting a platform-wide availability impact.
Affected Component
controller/unaccess.go — unaccessHandler.Handle (line 56)
