Description
Summary
The `GET /api/badge/:id/ping/:duration?` endpoint in `server/routers/api-router.js` does not verify that the requested monitor belongs to a public group. All other badge endpoints check `AND public = 1` in their SQL query before returning data. The ping endpoint skips this check entirely, allowing unauthenticated users to extract average ping/response time data for private monitors.
Affected Code
File: `server/routers/api-router.js`, approximately line 304
The ping badge endpoint directly calls `UptimeCalculator.getUptimeCalculator(requestedMonitorId)` without first checking if the monitor is public. Compare with the status badge endpoint (~line 148) which correctly queries:
```sql
SELECT monitor_group.monitor_id FROM monitor_group, `group`
WHERE monitor_group.group_id = `group`.id
AND monitor_group.monitor_id = ?
AND public = 1
```
Protected vs Vulnerable Endpoints
| Endpoint | Has public=1 check? |
|----------|-------------------|
| /api/badge/:id/status | Yes |
| /api/badge/:id/uptime/:duration? | Yes |
| /api/badge/:id/avg-response/:duration? | Yes |
| /api/badge/:id/cert-exp | Yes |
| /api/badge/:id/response | Yes |
| /api/badge/:id/ping/:duration? | No — vulnerable |
PoC
1. Install Uptime Kuma (tested on latest v2 stable via Docker)
2. Create an HTTP(s) monitor (e.g., monitoring http://localhost:3001)
3. Do NOT add the monitor to any public status page or group
4. Wait for heartbeats to accumulate (~5 minutes)
5. Query unauthenticated:
```bash
curl http://localhost:3001/api/badge/1/status → returns N/A (correct, monitor is private)
curl http://localhost:3001/api/badge/1/ping/24 → returns "Avg. Ping (24h): 10ms" (LEAKED)
```
Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can:
• Enumerate private monitor IDs
• Extract average response time data for private monitors
• Infer existence and reachability of internal monitored services
Suggested Fix
Add the same public monitor check before the UptimeCalculator call:
```javascript
let publicMonitor = await R.getRow(`
SELECT monitor_group.monitor_id FROM monitor_group, \`group\`
WHERE monitor_group.group_id = \`group\`.id
AND monitor_group.monitor_id = ?
AND public = 1
`, [requestedMonitorId]);
if (!publicMonitor) {
badgeValues.message = "N/A";
badgeValues.color = badgeConstants.naColor;
}
```
