Summary
Fix high severity security issue in
lib/api-server.js.Vulnerability
V-001lib/api-server.js:502Description: The DELETE endpoint for removing messages from the queue lacks authentication and authorization checks. While the API server uses authentication middleware (restify.plugins.authorizationParser()), the message deletion endpoint does not verify that the caller is authenticated or authorized to perform this administrative action. This allows any network-connected attacker to delete arbitrary messages from the queue.
Evidence
Exploitation scenario: An attacker with network access to the API server port (default 12080) sends an unauthenticated DELETE request: curl -X DELETE http://target:12080/message/MESSAGE_ID/SEQ_NUMBER.
Scanner confirmation: multi_agent_ai rule
