Technical details

The vulnerability stems from two flaws: (1) missing RequireInternalConnection middleware on the /api/internal/{station_id}/liquidsoap/{action} endpoint, making it publicly accessible despite being internal-only; (2) the $asAutoDj flag is set based on the presence of the X-Liquidsoap-Api-Key header rather than validation of its value. A user with StationPermissions::View can exploit this over the network to invoke privileged Liquidsoap commands, bypassing authentication checks on FeedbackCommand, DjOffCommand, DjOnCommand, and CopyCommand. Version 0.23.6 patches both issues.
