Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
AutoBangumi before 3.2.8 contains a hard-coded default credentials vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to authenticate as the administrator by using the publicly known default credentials seeded at startup via add_default_user() in the database user module when the users table is empty. Attackers can submit the default credentials to the authentication login endpoint to gain full control of the application, including RSS feed configuration, downloader configuration, and all authenticated API endpoints.
AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass via hard-coded default credentials in AutoBangumi before 3.2.8 lets unauthenticated remote attackers log in as administrator using publicly known credentials that the application seeds at startup via add_default_user() whenever the users table is empty. Successful login grants full control over RSS feed and downloader configuration and every authenticated API endpoint (CVSS 4.0 9.3). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the credentials are public and exploitation is trivial against any un-upgraded, freshly-initialized instance.
Technical ContextAI
AutoBangumi (vendor 'estrellaxd', CPE cpe:2.3:a:estrellaxd:auto_bangumi) is a self-hosted automation tool that watches RSS feeds and drives a downloader to fetch anime episodes. The flaw is CWE-1392 (Use of Default Credentials): the database user module's add_default_user() routine automatically inserts a well-known administrator account when it detects an empty users table on first startup, and those credentials are documented/derivable from the public source. Because the seed happens automatically and the credentials are never forced to be rotated, any deployment that has not created its own admin - or was freshly initialized - exposes a known login to the network-facing authentication endpoint.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to AutoBangumi 3.2.8 or later, which contains the fix (Vendor-released patch: 3.2.8; release https://github.com/EstrellaXD/Auto_Bangumi/releases/tag/3.2.8, patch commit 487bdfec545e805ae416e6ddf28651bd274d6a73). After upgrading, immediately change the administrator password so any previously seeded default credential is invalidated. If you cannot upgrade right away, log in and replace the default admin credentials with a strong unique password (removing the known-secret exposure), and restrict network exposure of the login endpoint by placing AutoBangumi behind a VPN, reverse-proxy authentication, or firewall rules that limit access to trusted hosts - the trade-off being reduced convenience of remote access. Avoid leaving a fresh install running with an empty users table exposed to untrusted networks, since that is precisely the state that triggers auto-seeding of the default account.
