CVE-2026-73519

WolfStack before 25.9.2 contains a hard-coded cluster-authentication secret compiled into every build and published as a constant in src/auth/mod.rs, allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication by supplying this value in the X-WolfStack-Secret header to the require_auth() gate without any session, API key, or user account. Attackers can reach an affected node's management port to enumerate all Docker and LXC containers on the host and execute arbitrary commands as root inside any container via the POST /api/containers/{runtime}/{id}/exec endpoint.

Summary		(es) WolfStack anterior a 25.9.2 contiene un secreto de autenticación de clúster codificado de forma rígida compilado en cada compilación y publicado como una constante en src/auth/mod.rs, permitiendo a atacantes remotos no autenticados eludir la autenticación al proporcionar este valor en el encabezado X-WolfStack-Secret a la puerta require_auth() sin ninguna sesión, clave de API o cuenta de usuario. Los atacantes pueden alcanzar el puerto de gestión de un nodo afectado para enumerar todos los contenedores Docker y LXC en el host y ejecutar comandos arbitrarios como root dentro de cualquier contenedor a través del endpoint POST /api/containers/{runtime}/{id}/exec.
