CVE-2026-55445: Qinglong has an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-3965: Improper Authentication

August 20, 2026

The init guard middleware in Qinglong only checks /api/user/init paths but not /open/user/init, which is whitelisted from JWT authentication and rewritten to /api/user/init after the guard has already passed, allowing unauthenticated admin credential reset on initialized instances.
