info:
  name: Apache APISIX Dashboard <2.10.1 - API Unauthorized Access
  author: Mr-xn
  severity: critical
  description: In Apache APISIX Dashboard before 2.10.1, the Manager API uses two frameworks and introduces framework `droplet` on the basis of framework `gin.' While all APIs and authentication middleware are developed based on framework `droplet`,  some API directly use the interface of framework `gin` thus bypassing their authentication.
  impact: |
    An attacker can gain unauthorized access to the API, potentially leading to data breaches or unauthorized actions.
  remediation: Upgrade to release 2.10.1 or later. Or, change the default username and password, and restrict the source IP to access the Apache APISIX Dashboard.
