Title
Authentication bypass in Aries due to misconfiguration
Summary
A vulnerability in Palantir's Aries service allowed unauthenticated access to log viewing and management functionality on Apollo instances using default configuration. The defect resulted in both authentication and authorization checks being bypassed, potentially allowing any network-accessible client to view system logs and perform operations without valid credentials. No evidence of exploitation was identified during the vulnerability window.
Severity ?
6.6 (Medium)
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
CWE
  • CWE-305 - The authentication algorithm is sound, but the implemented mechanism can be bypassed as the result of a separate weakness that is primary to the authentication error.
