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.
