Summary
Arcane Vulnerable to Unauthenticated Disclosure of Custom Compose Template Content (incl. `.env` secrets)
Details

Summary

Four GET endpoints under /api/templates* in Arcane's Huma backend are registered without any Security requirement, allowing any unauthenticated network client to list and read the full Compose YAML and .env content of every custom template stored in the instance. Because Arcane's UI exposes a "Save as Template" flow on the project / swarm-stack creation pages that persists the operator's real env content (database passwords, API keys, etc.) verbatim, this missing authorization is an unauthenticated read of operator secrets in practice — not a theoretical info-disclosure.

The frontend explicitly treats /customize/templates/* as an authenticated area (PROTECTED_PREFIXES in frontend/src/lib/utils/redirect.util.ts), and every CRUD operation (POST/PUT/DELETE) on the same paths requires a Bearer/API key, so this is a clear backend authorization gap, not intended public access.

Details

Affected file: backend/internal/huma/handlers/templates.go:194-228.

In RegisterTemplates, four huma.Register calls have no Security: block:

// templates.go
huma.Register(api, huma.Operation{
    OperationID: "listTemplatesPaginated",
    Method:      "GET",
    Path:        "/templates",
    ...
    // <-- no Security
}, h.ListTemplates)

huma.Register(api, huma.Operation{
    OperationID: "getAllTemplates",
    Method:      "GET",
    Path:        "/templates/all",
    ...
}, h.GetAllTemplates)

huma.Register(api, huma.Operation{
    OperationID: "getTemplate",
    Method:      "GET",
    Path:        "/templates/{id}",
    ...
}, h.GetTemplate)

huma.Register(api, huma.Operation{
    OperationID: "getTemplateContent",
    Method:      "GET",
    Path:        "/templates/{id}/content",
    ...
}, h.GetTemplateContent)

Arcane's auth bridge (backend/internal/huma/middleware/auth.go:168-172) only enforces authentication when the operation declares one of the security schemes (BearerAuth or ApiKeyAuth). With Security omitted, parseSecurityRequirements returns isRequired=false and the request flows through with no token check.

TemplateHandler.GetTemplateContent (templates.go:478-499) calls templateService.GetTemplateContentWithParsedData (backend/internal/services/template_service.go:1303-1347), which returns the model's Content, EnvContent, parsed services, and parsed env-variable key/value pairs verbatim. The model models.ComposeTemplate (backend/internal/models/template.go:15-16) stores Content and EnvContent as plain text columns and has no owner / user binding.

Impact

  • Pre-auth confidentiality breach. An unauthenticated client on the same network (or through any path-unaware reverse proxy) recovers the full envContent of every locally-stored Compose template. Because the supported "Save as Template" workflow takes the operator's real env values verbatim, this commonly includes database passwords, registry tokens, third-party API keys (Stripe, Sentry, etc.), and OIDC client secrets.
  • Internal asset enumeration. GET /api/templates returns names, descriptions, tags, and registry metadata for every template, leaking what services the team runs internally and which compose files they reuse

Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • 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
Architecture and Design

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
Architecture and Design

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
Architecture and Design
  • 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
System Configuration Installation

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.

CAPEC-665: Exploitation of Thunderbolt Protection Flaws

An adversary leverages a firmware weakness within the Thunderbolt protocol, on a computing device to manipulate Thunderbolt controller firmware in order to exploit vulnerabilities in the implementation of authorization and verification schemes within Thunderbolt protection mechanisms. Upon gaining physical access to a target device, the adversary conducts high-level firmware manipulation of the victim Thunderbolt controller SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) flash, through the use of a SPI Programing device and an external Thunderbolt device, typically as the target device is booting up. If successful, this allows the adversary to modify memory, subvert authentication mechanisms, spoof identities and content, and extract data and memory from the target device. Currently 7 major vulnerabilities exist within Thunderbolt protocol with 9 attack vectors as noted in the Execution Flow.
