  • Unauthenticated POST to /kubepi/api/v1/systems/login/logs/search with an empty JSON body ({}) returns HTTP 200 with JSON fields 'apiVersion', 'uuid', and 'userName' — indicating successful unauthorized access to login logs.
  • Response body must contain all three strings: '"apiVersion":', '"uuid":', and '"userName":' to confirm exploitation of the unauthorized access vulnerability.
  • Response Content-Type header must be 'application/json' and HTTP status code must be 200 to confirm the endpoint responded with sensitive data.
  • Use Shodan query html:"kubepi" or http.html:"kubepi" to identify exposed KubePi instances on the internet.
  • Use FOFA query body="kubepi" to identify exposed KubePi instances.
  • ·The vulnerability affects KubePi versions up to and including v1.6.4; the patch was introduced in v1.6.4 per the advisory, meaning only versions strictly after v1.6.4 are safe.
  • ·No authentication or session token is required to trigger the vulnerability — the POST request uses an empty JSON body ({}) with no Authorization header.
  • ·EPSS score of 0.81122 (99.158th percentile) indicates very high probability of exploitation in the wild; prioritize detection and patching accordingly.
