Description

9Router is an AI router & token saver. Prior to 0.5.2, 9router protects /v1, /v1beta, /api/v1, and /api/v1beta in src/dashboardGuard.js but omits /codex before next.config.mjs rewrites /codex/* to /api/v1/responses. A remote unauthenticated attacker can send requests to /codex/* to bypass the API-key gate and cause the server to make upstream provider calls using operator-stored LLM provider credentials. This issue is fixed in version 0.5.2.
