CVE-2026-53977

OpenChamber 1.11.7 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to terminate the server process by sending a POST request to the /api/system/shutdown endpoint, which is registered before the authentication middleware in the Express route handler chain. Attackers can exploit the route registration order in bootstrap-runtime.js to reach the shutdown handler before auth middleware executes, causing denial of service to all active AI coding sessions and locking out legitimate remote users regardless of whether UI_PASSWORD is configured.

Summary		(es) OpenChamber 1.11.7 contiene una vulnerabilidad de omisión de autenticación que permite a atacantes remotos no autenticados terminar el proceso del servidor enviando una solicitud POST al endpoint /api/system/shutdown, el cual está registrado antes del middleware de autenticación en la cadena de gestores de ruta de Express. Los atacantes pueden explotar el orden de registro de rutas en bootstrap-runtime.js para alcanzar el gestor de apagado antes de que se ejecute el middleware de autenticación, causando denegación de servicio a todas las sesiones de codificación de IA activas y bloqueando a usuarios remotos legítimos independientemente de si UI_PASSWORD está configurado.
