Summary
Keycloak: Missing Role Enforcement on UMA 2.0 Permission Ticket Endpoint Leads to Information Disclosure
Details

A flaw was found in Keycloak. The User-Managed Access (UMA) 2.0 Protection API endpoint for permission tickets fails to enforce the uma_protection role check. This allows any authenticated user with a token issued for a resource server client, even without the uma_protection role, to enumerate all permission tickets in the system. This vulnerability partial leads to information disclosure.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-02-28 18:30 – Updated: 2024-02-28 18:30

Details

A vulnerability was found in 3Scale, when used with Keycloak 15 (or RHSSO 7.5.0) and superiors. When the auth_type is use_3scale_oidc_issuer_endpoint, the Token Introspection policy discovers the Token Introspection endpoint from the token_introspection_endpoint field, but the field was removed on RH-SSO 7.5. As a result, the policy doesn't inspect tokens, it determines that all tokens are valid.

GHSA-QMJF-WC2H-6X3Q

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-05-29 18:40 – Updated: 2025-01-21 18:30
VLAI
Summary
Nautobot dynamic-group-members doesn't enforce permission restrictions on member objects
Details

Impact

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.

  "details": "### Impact\n_What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?_\n\nA user with permissions to view Dynamic Group records (`extras.view_dynamicgroup` permission) can use the Dynamic Group detail UI view (`/extras/dynamic-groups/\u003cuuid\u003e/`) and/or the members REST API view (`/api/extras/dynamic-groups/\u003cuuid\u003e/members/`) to list the objects that are members of a given Dynamic Group. \n\nIn 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\u0027s `dcim.view_device` permissions or lack thereof.\n\n### Patches\n_Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?_\n\nFixed in Nautobot 1.6.23 and 2.2.5.\n\n### Workarounds\n_Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?_\n\nThis vulnerability can be partially mitigated by removing `extras.view_dynamicgroup` permission from users; a full fix will require upgrading.\n\n### References\n_Are there any links users can visit to find out more?_\n\n- https://github.com/nautobot/nautobot/pull/5757\n- https://github.com/nautobot/nautobot/pull/5762",

Mitigation MIT-46
Architecture and Design

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
Implementation

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.
