Technical details
The Tilt HUD HTTP server, which utilizes a gorilla/mux router, was found to register several sensitive handlers without authenticating middleware. When the server is bound to a non-loopback address (e.g., via the --host 0.0.0.0 flag), an unauthenticated remote attacker can access endpoints such as /api/view, /api/trigger, and /proxy/*. This allows for the extraction of the full engine state (including session tokens), tampering with Tiltfile arguments, and the invocation of Kubernetes apiserver resources through the token-attaching proxy handler. The vulnerability also included a WebSocket origin check bypass where omitting the Origin header allowed unauthorized access to the full view stream. The issue is resolved in version 0.37.4 by implementing CSRF protection, SameSite=Strict cookies, and mandatory token authentication for sensitive endpoints.
