Summary

Wheels from 4.0.0 before 4.2.0 exposes password-less development tools under /wheels/* to remote clients when enablePublicComponent=true. The local-access check is missing before 4.1.2 and trusts client-supplied headers in 4.1.2, an incorrect authorization flaw (CWE-863). Remote clients can read application settings, environment and datasource details and routes, and start test runs that can write to the real application database when tests use the primary datasource.

Description from the CNA

Wheels 4.0.0 through 4.1.2 exposes password-less development tools under /wheels/* to remote clients when enablePublicComponent=true, as it is by default in development. Before 4.1.2 these tools have no local-access restriction; in 4.1.2 the restriction trusts client-supplied headers without checking the connecting peer. Remote clients can obtain application settings, environment/datasource details and routes, and start test runs. Where application tests use the primary datasource, those runs can write to the real application database. The separately protected migrator and CLI endpoints are not affected. This is fixed in 4.2.0.
