Authentication Bypass in Dagu SSE Endpoints Exposes Sensitive Data

Publication date: 2026-03-13

Last updated on: 2026-03-18

Assigner: GitHub, Inc.

Description
Dagu is a workflow engine with a built-in Web user interface. Prior to 2.2.4, when Dagu is configured with HTTP Basic authentication (DAGU_AUTH_MODE=basic), all Server-Sent Events (SSE) endpoints are accessible without any credentials. This allows unauthenticated attackers to access real-time DAG execution data, workflow configurations, execution logs, and queue status — bypassing the authentication that protects the REST API. The buildStreamAuthOptions() function builds authentication options for SSE/streaming endpoints. When the auth mode is basic, it returns an auth.Options struct with BasicAuthEnabled: true but AuthRequired defaults to false (Go zero value). The authentication middleware at internal/service/frontend/auth/middleware.go allows unauthenticated requests when AuthRequired is false. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.2.4.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in Dagu, a workflow engine with a built-in Web user interface. Before version 2.2.4, when Dagu is set to use HTTP Basic authentication, all Server-Sent Events (SSE) endpoints can be accessed without requiring any credentials.

This means that unauthenticated attackers can bypass the authentication protecting the REST API and gain access to sensitive real-time data such as DAG execution data, workflow configurations, execution logs, and queue status.

The root cause is that the authentication middleware allows unauthenticated requests to SSE endpoints because the AuthRequired flag defaults to false, even when BasicAuthEnabled is true. This issue was fixed in version 2.2.4.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow attackers to access sensitive and real-time workflow execution data without authentication.

  • Exposure of DAG execution data
  • Access to workflow configurations
  • Viewing execution logs
  • Monitoring queue status

Such unauthorized access could lead to information disclosure and potentially aid attackers in further exploiting the system.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, upgrade Dagu to version 2.2.4 or later, where the issue is fixed.

Avoid using HTTP Basic authentication (DAGU_AUTH_MODE=basic) with versions prior to 2.2.4, as SSE endpoints are accessible without credentials in those versions.
