Vulnerability in 9router (CVE-2026-55638)
Summary
Vulnerability in 9router (CVE-2026-55638). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via POST /api/v1/responses. Mitigation: upgrade to 0.5.2 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
9Router is an AI router & token saver. Prior to 0.5.2, 9router protects /v1, /v1beta, /api/v1, and /api/v1beta in src/dashboardGuard.js but omits /codex before next.config.mjs rewrites /codex/* to /api/v1/responses. A remote unauthenticated attacker can send requests to /codex/* to bypass the API-key gate and cause the server to make upstream provider calls using operator-stored LLM provider credentials. This issue is fixed in version 0.5.2.

Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
A vulnerability (CWE-862) exists in 9router. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via POST /api/v1/responses without authentication.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of 9router. Attack surface: POST /api/v1/responses / POST /codex/x / POST /responses / POST /notcodex/x.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.6/10). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Update to 0.5.2.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.

Response actions
Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order
-
1Identify exposure identify
grep -r '9router' . | grep -v node_modulesリポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で
9routerを grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。 -
2Hunt for indicators of compromise detect
grep 'POST /api/v1/responses' /var/log/nginx/access.log | grep -E '(unusual_payload|sqli_pattern)'アクセスログで
POST /api/v1/responsesへの異常なリクエスト (不正な認証ヘッダ・SQLメタ文字)を過去 30〜90日分捜索。WAF/SIEM があれば該当パスのアラート発火履歴を確認。 -
3Apply patch patch
Upgrade 9router to 0.5.2ステージング環境で 0.5.2 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスと、Step 2 で見つけた異常検知の続報チェックを含めること。
-
4Post-deployment verification verify
Replay attack against POST /api/v1/responses on staging to confirm patch closes the vectorパッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番では Step 2 と同じログクエリでアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
