### Summary Two checks on the same WebSocket request URI parse it differently. The authentication exemption for keepalive sessions matches raw substrings, while the quarantine introduced to contain those sessions reads a parsed query parameter. Because Go's returns only the first value for a repeated key, a single URI can satisfy the exemption and still resolve to a non-auth session identity. The result is that an unauthenticated remote caller connects to the kernel WebSocket with a valid access auth code configured, is placed in the general broadcast pool rather than the quarantined pool, and receives the live event stream. ### Details **The exemption matches substrings.** on the development branch, on master: Neither operand is parsed. Any URI containing both literals is exempted, regardless of what the query actually resolves to. **The quarantine parses.** Commit added the containment for exempted sessions at : returns the first value for a repeated key. **The differential.** For the URI: - It contains and , so is true. No cookie, no JWT and no access auth code are required. - returns , so is false. files the session in , the broadcast pool, rather than in . - returns , so the session matches . - Without a valid the publish flag is never set, so does not exclude it either. Every guard that should have caught the session keys off a different parse than the one that admitted it. **No origin validation.** does not appear on the path, so the cross-origin vector described in the parent advisory also remains available. **Distinction from the existing broadcast-pool advisory.** GHSA-mw8r-mw84-88v2 concerns the publish port, where an anonymous session is expected to connect and the defect is that broadcast content is not gated for it afterwards. This report concerns the kernel port with an access auth code configured, where the session should never be admitted in the first place. The leaked data overlaps because both end in the same broadcast pool, but the mechanisms and
