Technical details
The vulnerability is a business logic error in the selfRegister API endpoint (service/server/routes_agent.py) where insufficient validation on the initial_balance parameter permits remote attackers to inject arbitrary values. Although profit calculations normalize against the inflated starting capital and thus prevent artificial percentage return inflation, the absolute cash/equity display is affected, enabling leaderboard manipulation and cosmetic fraud in a simulated trading environment. The attack requires network access to the API endpoint but no authentication. The fix status is unclear due to the rolling release model employed by the project.
