# Wazuh dashboard: authenticated users can bypass Manager API authorization

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-112340 (this .md is for agents)

Wazuh dashboard plugins from 4.9.0 before 4.14.9 let any logged-in dashboard user override the Manager API Authorization header through the /api/request proxy. An attacker can act as another Manager API identity or send unauthenticated requests to the upstream API.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed Wazuh dashboard plugin version and see whether it is at least `4.14.9`.
- Confirm the dashboard is running a version in the affected range, `4.9.0` up to but not including `4.14.9`.

## Fix

- Move Wazuh dashboard plugins to `4.14.9` or later.

- [fix] Release notes: github.com https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh/releases/tag/v4.14.9

## From the sources

Wazuh dashboard plugins from 4.9.0 before 4.14.9 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability that allows authenticated dashboard users to override the Manager API Authorization header via the /api/request proxy endpoint. Attackers can supply nested body.headers.Authorization values that replace the server-side session Bearer token, letting them act as another Manager API identity or send unauthenticated upstream requests.
