Technical details

A denial of service vulnerability exists in Netmaker's API due to an improper resource shutdown mechanism (CWE-404). The '/api/server/shutdown' endpoint is accessible to users and, when called, triggers a 'syscall.SIGINT' to terminate the server process. While the server may automatically restart, an attacker can repeatedly call this endpoint to create a cyclic denial of service with roughly 3-second intervals of downtime. The vulnerability is present in versions prior to 1.2.0 and has been addressed in the 1.2.0 release.
