Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-05-14 22:10 – Updated: 2024-05-14 22:10
VLAI
Summary
Grafana Fine-grained access control vulnerability
Details

Impact

On Nov. 2, during an internal security audit, we discovered that when the fine-grained access control beta feature is enabled and there is more than one organization in the Grafana instance, Grafana 8.0 introduced a mechanism which allowed users with the Organization Admin role to list, add, remove, and update users’ roles in other organizations in which they are not an admin.

Patches

Fixed in 8.2.4

Workarounds

All installations between v8.0 and v8.2.3 that have fine-grained access control beta enabled and more than one organization should be upgraded as soon as possible. If you cannot upgrade, you should turn off the fine-grained access control using a feature flag.

Grafana Cloud instances have not been affected by the vulnerability.

Details

The WireGuard client 0.5.3 on Windows insecurely configures the operating system and firewall such that traffic to a local network that uses non-RFC1918 IP addresses is blocked. This allows an adversary to trick the victim into blocking IP traffic to selected IP addresses and services even while the VPN is enabled. NOTE: the tunnelcrack.mathyvanhoef.com website uses this CVE ID to refer more generally to "LocalNet attack resulting in the blocking of traffic" rather than to only WireGuard.

Summary
Apache Camel K: Kubernetes namespace authorized users can create a Build resource
Details

(Externally Controlled Reference to a Resource in Another Sphere), (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key) vulnerability in Apache Camel K. Authorized users in a Kubernetes namespace can create a Build resource, controlling the Pod generation in a namespace of their choice, including the operator namespace.

This issue affects Apache Camel K: from 2.0.0 before 2.8.1, from 2.9.0 before 2.9.2, from 2.10.0 before 2.10.1.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.10.1 (or 2.8.1 or 2.9.2), which fixes the issue.

CAPEC-219: XML Routing Detour Attacks

An attacker subverts an intermediate system used to process XML content and forces the intermediate to modify and/or re-route the processing of the content. XML Routing Detour Attacks are Adversary in the Middle type attacks (CAPEC-94). The attacker compromises or inserts an intermediate system in the processing of the XML message. For example, WS-Routing can be used to specify a series of nodes or intermediaries through which content is passed. If any of the intermediate nodes in this route are compromised by an attacker they could be used for a routing detour attack. From the compromised system the attacker is able to route the XML process to other nodes of their choice and modify the responses so that the normal chain of processing is unaware of the interception. This system can forward the message to an outside entity and hide the forwarding and processing from the legitimate processing systems by altering the header information.
