CVE-2026-56679: 9router: Mass assignment in PATCH /api/settings allows authenticated authorization downgrade

September 23, 2026

The PATCH /api/settings endpoint writes the entire request body to persistent settings without a field whitelist. An authenticated user can set security-critical fields that are not meant to be modifiable here — notably requireLogin. Setting requireLogin: false disables authentication for the whole application, exposing all protected routes (e.g. /api/keys, /api/providers) to unauthenticated access.
