Technical details
OpenPanel serves a Bull Board dashboard on its worker HTTP port without enforcing authentication when operator credentials (ADMIN_USERNAME and ADMIN_PASSWORD) are not configured. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated access to `/api/queues` and mutating Bull Board APIs. An attacker with network access can read queue metrics, datastore health, and job data, or modify job states. The fix in 3.0.0 requires operator credentials to mount the Bull Board dashboard at all.
