Unauthorized Access via Missing JWT Authentication in Dragonfly Jobs API

Publication date: 2026-01-22

Last updated on: 2026-02-26

Assigner: GitHub, Inc.

Description
Dragonfly is an open source P2P-based file distribution and image acceleration system. In versions 2.4.1-rc.0 and below, the Job API endpoints (/api/v1/jobs) lack JWT authentication middleware and RBAC authorization checks in the routing configuration. This allows any unauthenticated user with access to the Manager API to view, update and delete jobs. The issue is fixed in version 2.4.1-rc.1.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in Dragonfly versions 2.4.1-rc.0 and below, where the Job API endpoints (/api/v1/jobs) do not have JWT authentication middleware or RBAC authorization checks. As a result, any unauthenticated user with access to the Manager API can view, update, and delete jobs, which should normally require proper authentication and authorization. The issue is fixed in version 2.4.1-rc.1.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow unauthorized users to access and manipulate job data within the Dragonfly system. Specifically, they can view sensitive job information, update job details, or delete jobs without any authentication or authorization. This can lead to data integrity issues, disruption of service, and potential exposure of sensitive operational data.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Dragonfly to version 2.4.1-rc.1 or later, where the Job API endpoints have proper JWT authentication middleware and RBAC authorization checks implemented to prevent unauthorized access.
