GHSA-F989-3FP9-Q3R2
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-06-15 21:30 – Updated: 2025-03-04 16:35Adobe Commerce versions 2.4.6 (and earlier), 2.4.5-p2 (and earlier) and 2.4.4-p3 (and earlier) are affected by an Incorrect Authorization vulnerability that could result in a security feature bypass. A privileged attacker could leverage this vulnerability to modify a minor functionality of another user's data. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.

GHSA-F9QJ-77Q2-H5C5
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-10-02 18:31 – Updated: 2024-10-02 21:50Jenkins provides APIs for fine-grained control of item creation:
-
Authorization strategies can prohibit the creation of items of a given type in a given item group (
ACL#hasCreatePermission2). -
Item types can prohibit creation of new instances in a given item group (
TopLevelItemDescriptor#isApplicableIn(ItemGroup)).
If an attempt is made to create an item of a prohibited type through the Jenkins CLI or the REST API and either of the above checks fail, Jenkins 2.478 and earlier, LTS 2.462.2 and earlier creates the item in memory, only deleting it from disk.
This allows attackers with Item/Create permission to bypass these restrictions, creating a temporary item. With Item/Configure permission, they can also save the item to persist it.
If an attempt is made to create an item of a prohibited type through the Jenkins CLI or the REST API and either of the above checks fail, Jenkins 2.479, LTS 2.462.3 does not retain the item in memory.

Mitigation
- 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
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
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
- 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
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.
No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
