Dragonfly doesn't have authentication enabled for some Manager’s endpoints
Date: 2025-09
Affected: go/d7y.io/dragonfly/v2, go/github.com/dragonflyoss/dragonfly
Attack vector: dos
Category: vulnerability-disclosure
Severity: High
CVE: CVE-2025-59345
CWE: CWE-287
CWE-306

### Impact The /api/v1/jobs and /preheats endpoints in Manager web UI are accessible without authentication. Any user with network access to the Manager can create, delete, and modify jobs, and create preheat jobs. An unauthenticated adversary with network access to a Manager web UI uses /api/v1/jobs endpoint to create hundreds of useless jobs. The Manager is in a denial-of-service state, and stops accepting requests from valid administrators. ### Patches - Dragonfy v2.1.0 and above. ### Workarounds There are no effective workarounds, beyond upgrading. ### References A third party security audit was performed by Trail of Bits, you can see the [full report](https://github.com/dragonflyoss/dragonfly/blob/main/docs/security/dragonfly-comprehensive-report-2023.pdf).
