GHSA-QMJF-WC2H-6X3Q
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-05-29 18:40 – Updated: 2025-01-21 18:30Impact
What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?
A user with permissions to view Dynamic Group records (extras.view_dynamicgroup permission) can use the Dynamic Group detail UI view (/extras/dynamic-groups/<uuid>/) and/or the members REST API view (/api/extras/dynamic-groups/<uuid>/members/) to list the objects that are members of a given Dynamic Group.
In versions of Nautobot between 1.3.0 (where the Dynamic Groups feature was added) and 1.6.22 inclusive, and 2.0.0 through 2.2.4 inclusive, Nautobot fails to restrict these listings based on the member object permissions - for example a Dynamic Group of Device objects will list all Devices that it contains, regardless of the user's dcim.view_device permissions or lack thereof.
Patches
Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?
Fixed in Nautobot 1.6.23 and 2.2.5.
Workarounds
Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?
This vulnerability can be partially mitigated by removing extras.view_dynamicgroup permission from users; a full fix will require upgrading.

Mitigation MIT-46
Strategy: Separation of Privilege
- Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
- Ensure that appropriate compartmentalization is built into the system design, and the compartmentalization allows for and reinforces privilege separation functionality. Architects and designers should rely on the principle of least privilege to decide the appropriate time to use privileges and the time to drop privileges.
Mitigation
Always check to see if you have successfully accessed a resource or system functionality, and use proper error handling if it is unsuccessful. Do this even when you are operating in a highly privileged mode, because errors or environmental conditions might still cause a failure. For example, environments with highly granular permissions/privilege models, such as Windows or Linux capabilities, can cause unexpected failures.
