What the vulnerability does

01Description

code100x contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the Mobile API that allows unauthenticated attackers to impersonate arbitrary users by supplying a crafted JSON payload in the 'g' HTTP header. The middleware in middleware.ts skips identity header generation when an Auth-Key header is present without validating its value, allowing attackers to inject a spoofed user identity header that the downstream route handler in the mobile courses endpoint accepts as trusted, granting unauthorized access to course data belonging to any enrolled user or administrator.
