The vulnerability lies within the Dashboard component, specifically in the \u003ccode\u003eastrbot/dashboard/routes/auth.py\u003c/code\u003e file. An unspecified processing flaw allows attackers to retrieve or leverage hardcoded credentials. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely and has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation. The vendor was notified, but did not respond to the disclosure. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information or control over the AstrBot application.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"attack-chain\"\u003eAttack Chain\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker identifies a vulnerable AstrBot instance running a version up to 4.16.0.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker sends a crafted request to the \u003ccode\u003eastrbot/dashboard/routes/auth.py\u003c/code\u003e endpoint.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe vulnerable code in \u003ccode\u003eauth.py\u003c/code\u003e processes the request improperly, exposing hardcoded credentials.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker extracts the hardcoded credentials from the response.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker uses the hardcoded credentials to authenticate to the AstrBot dashboard.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker gains unauthorized access to administrative functions within the AstrBot application.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker uses the compromised access to modify bot configurations or access user data.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker leverages compromised bot to conduct malicious activity such as spam or data theft.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"impact\"\u003eImpact\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccessful exploitation of CVE-2026-7579 allows a remote attacker to obtain hardcoded credentials, leading to complete control over the AstrBot application.
