Summary
directus vulnerable to Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File
Details
Summary
CWE-532: Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File discovered in v9.23.1. The directus_refresh_token is not redacted properly from the log outputs and can be used to impersonate users without their permission.
Details
Using v9.23.1, I am seeing that the directus_refresh_token is not properly redacted as indicated by https://github.com/directus/directus/blob/7c479c5161639aac466c763b6b958a9524201d74/api/src/logger.ts#L13
I'm classifying this as a security vulnerability because if someone has access to the log outputs, for example with a shared Cloud account or Splunk implementation, they could exchange the refresh token using /auth/refresh for an access token and use the token to perform actions on behalf of an unsuspecting user. This situation creates issues with accountability and non-repudiation because we can no longer have confidence that actions taken in the application were authorized or even performed by the logged-in user.
A couple of examples of this are: - A disgruntled employee deletes all of the data to get even with a target team member before logging off on their last day - Under the guise of their unsuspecting boss, a mischievous engineer uploads questionable images that get displayed on internal or external facing content sites
The list could go on but I think these communicate the risk of an internal threat that has access to this information 😆
PoC
- Set
LOG_STYLE="raw"and run Directus v9.23.1 - Log in to the application
-
Look at the shell output and see that
directus_refresh_tokenis logged > Note: This is different from the standardrawoutput format. I intentionally ran this withnpx directus start | pino-prettyso logs would be easier to read. It can also be reproduced by runningnpx directus startalone.
-
Exchange the
directus_refresh_tokenfor anaccess_tokenshell curl -X POST \ 'http://0.0.0.0:8055/auth/refresh' \ --header 'Accept: */*' \ --header 'Cookie: directus_refresh_token=$shh'
Impact
Because this can be used to exploit other threats related to CWE-284: Improper Access Control I rank it with a Moderate severity. An insider with knowledge of this could do many mischievous things and get away with them for a long time without victims knowing about it.
