LobeHub has an unauthenticated authentication bypass on `webapi` routes via forgeable `X-lobe-chat-auth` header
LobeHub is a work-and-lifestyle space to find, build, and collaborate with agent teammates that grow with you. Prior to 2.1.48, the webapi authentication layer trusts a client-controlled X-lobe-chat-auth header that is only XOR-obfuscated, not signed or otherwise authenticated. Because the XOR key is hardcoded in the repository, an attacker can forge arbitrary auth payloads and bypass authentication on protected webapi routes. Affected routes include /webapi/chat/[provider], /webapi/models/[provider], /webapi/models/[provider]/pull, and /webapi/create-image/comfyui. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.1.48.

Root cause
Authentication is added route by route instead of being enforced in one place. When a route added later bypasses the shared middleware, the session check never runs for it.
