Vulnerability from tailscale

Description: SCIM group name disclosure via the ACL editor

What happened?

The ACL editor in the admin console did not check SCIM group names in the ACL rules against the tailnet name. This allowed tailnet A to use SCIM groups from tailnet B in their ACL rules. A malicious user in tailnet A could not gain access to target tailnet B this way. However, they could use the fact that ACLs get saved without warnings to learn about valid SCIM group names in other tailnets.

This issue was fixed on July 19th, 2024. A user trying to save ACLs with SCIM group names from other tailnets will always receive a warning that these groups do not exist, even if they do exist in other tailnets.

Who was affected?

None of the existing tailnets' ACLs appear to use SCIM group names from other tailnets maliciously. A handful of customers used the wrong SCIM group names from their production tailnets in their test tailnets by accident.

What was the impact?

A malicious user could learn about SCIM group names used in other tailnets.

What do I need to do?

No action is required.
