Technical details

The loopback API service in Control Web Panel before version 1.30 fails to enforce authentication on sensitive endpoints such as /v1/restoredatabase/, /generaluser/, /last_access/, /valid_user/, /valid_token/, and /user_panel_dashboard/. An attacker with local network access can invoke these endpoints without providing an access token, gaining root-level privileges. The vulnerability is a missing authentication check (CWE-306) on critical administrative functions.
