Description
Dragonfly is an open source P2P-based file distribution and image acceleration system. Prior to 2.1.0, 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. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.1.0.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in Dragonfly versions prior to 2.1.0, where the /api/v1/jobs and /preheats endpoints in the Manager web UI are accessible without any authentication. This means that anyone with network access to the Manager can create, delete, and modify jobs, including creating preheat jobs. An attacker can exploit this by creating hundreds of useless jobs via the /api/v1/jobs endpoint, causing the Manager to enter a denial-of-service state and stop accepting requests from legitimate administrators.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can lead to a denial-of-service condition on the Dragonfly Manager, preventing valid administrators from managing jobs or using the system effectively. This disruption can halt file distribution and image acceleration services, impacting availability and operational continuity.

Detection Guidance

You can detect this vulnerability by checking if the /api/v1/jobs and /preheats endpoints of the Dragonfly Manager web UI are accessible without authentication. For example, you can use curl commands to test access: curl -i http://<manager-ip>/api/v1/jobs and curl -i http://<manager-ip>/preheats. If these endpoints respond without requiring authentication, the system is vulnerable.

Mitigation Strategies

The immediate mitigation step is to upgrade Dragonfly to version 2.1.0 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Until then, restrict network access to the Manager web UI to trusted users only to prevent unauthenticated access.
