Summary
OpenRemote 1.2.0 before 1.31.0 lacks authorization checks in GatewayServiceResource, so any authenticated user can start, stop and query gateway tunnels without an administrative role. An attacker with a regular account can send POST or DELETE requests to the gateway tunnel endpoint to open persistent bidirectional TCP circuits into an edge gateway's network or tear down operator tunnels. The flaw is classified as CWE-862 (Missing Authorization).
