MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Defense Evasion, Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires only network reachability to the Roxy-WI web interface on a vulnerable instance (version 8.2.6.4 or earlier) and the ability to issue an HTTP request whose URL either contains the substring 'api' (triggering the authentication-bypass code path) or targets the /api/gpt endpoint (which is unauthenticated by design). No credentials, no user interaction, no specific non-default configuration, and no platform-specific prerequisites are needed. The practical limiting factor is exposure: instances reachable only from a trusted management VLAN or behind an authenticating reverse proxy are not exploitable by external attackers. |
| Impact | The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N indicates fully remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation, which is the worst-case combination for an exposed management UI; scope is changed (S:C) reflecting that bypassing auth in the UI lets the attacker reach functionality belonging to a different security authority (the managed proxy/LB infrastructure). The C:L/I:L/A:L impact metrics moderate the headline score to 8.3 rather than 9.8, suggesting the bypass yields partial rather than full control of the host. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or SSVC decision was provided in the input, so probabilistic exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified, but the combination of trivial exploitability and absence of a patch makes this a real and urgent priority for any internet-facing deployment. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, however the description discloses the bypass technique itself, which materially lowers the barrier to weaponization. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who can reach a Roxy-WI instance over the network sends an unauthenticated HTTP request to /api/gpt (or another URL crafted to contain the 'api' substring) and obtains access to API functionality that should require an authenticated session, allowing interaction with the management plane of the underlying HAProxy/Nginx/Apache/Keepalived servers. Because the attack is network-based, low-complexity, and requires no privileges or user interaction, opportunistic mass scanning for Roxy-WI instances is plausible once the bypass URL pattern is widely known. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the advisory itself describes the bypass technique. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 10, 2026
Authentication bypass in Roxy-WI versions 8.2.6.4 and prior allows remote unauthenticated attackers to reach protected API functionality by including the 'api' substring in the URL, with the /api/gpt endpoint specifically exposed without authentication. The flaw carries a CVSS 8.3 with scope change and affects a web management interface for HAProxy, Nginx, Apache, and Keepalived, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis. No vendor-released patch exists at time of publication, making this a high-priority issue for any internet-exposed installation.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, so administrators must rely on compensating controls until an updated Roxy-WI release is published via the GHSA-4fcm-qgg8-w2vf advisory at https://github.com/roxy-wi/roxy-wi/security/advisories/GHSA-4fcm-qgg8-w2vf. Immediate compensating controls include restricting network access to the Roxy-WI web interface using a firewall or reverse-proxy ACL to allow only trusted management IP ranges, which removes remote unauthenticated reachability at the cost of breaking access for any legitimate remote operators who are not on the allowlist. As a defense-in-depth layer, place Roxy-WI behind an authenticating reverse proxy (for example nginx with basic-auth or mTLS, or an SSO/OAuth proxy such as oauth2-proxy) so that requests to any path including /api/gpt and any URL containing 'api' are rejected before reaching the vulnerable application, accepting the trade-off of an additional auth layer for operators to manage. Specifically blocking external requests to /api/* on the upstream proxy is a narrower mitigation but will break legitimate API automation; combine with monitoring of access logs for unexpected /api/gpt requests.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Roxy-WI is a Python/Flask-based web interface used to manage and monitor proxy and load-balancer software including HAProxy, Nginx, Apache, and Keepalived. The root cause is CWE-287 (Improper Authentication): the authentication middleware appears to use a substring or prefix check against the request path rather than a strict route match, so any URL containing 'api' is treated as belonging to a path that bypasses session enforcement. Compounding this, the /api/gpt endpoint is itself defined without an authentication requirement. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:roxy-wi:roxy-wi:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates the entire product line up to 8.2.6.4 is affected.

DescriptionNVD
Roxy-WI is a web interface for managing Haproxy, Nginx, Apache and Keepalived servers. In versions 8.2.6.4 and prior, there is an authentication bypass vulnerability via 'api' substring in URL + unauthenticated /api/gpt. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.
Articles & Coverage 3
Executive ViewAI
Roxy-WI versions 8.2.6.4 and earlier contain an authentication bypass allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to access protected API endpoints and administrative functionality for critical infrastructure management systems (HAProxy, Nginx, Apache, Keepalived). Internet-exposed installations face immediate risk of unauthorized configuration changes, data exposure, or infrastructure compromise. No vendor patch is currently available, making urgent implementation of network controls critical to organizational security.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Implement network segmentation to restrict Roxy-WI access to trusted internal networks only; deploy Web Application Firewall rules blocking requests containing /api substring from external sources; require VPN authentication for all administrative access; implement comprehensive logging and real-time alerting on API endpoint access attempts; disable or restrict direct access to /api/gpt endpoint; monitor security advisories and threat intelligence sources for public exploit code or active exploitation indicators.
