GHSA-VF84-MXRQ-CRQC

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-08-08 14:32 – Updated: 2025-08-11 13:56
VLAI
Summary
OpenBao Root Namespace Operator May Elevate Token Privileges
Details

Impact

Accounts with access to the highly-privileged identity entity system in the root namespace may increase their scope directly to the root policy. While the identity system always allowed adding arbitrary policies, which in turn could contain capability grants on arbitrary paths, the root policy is restricted to manual generation using unseal or recovery key shares. The global root policy is not accessible from child namespaces.

Patches

OpenBao v2.3.2 will patch this issue.

Workarounds

Use of denied_parameters in any policy which has access to the affected identity endpoints (on identity entities) may be sufficient to prohibit this type of attack.

References

This issue was disclosed to HashiCorp and is the OpenBao equivalent of the following tickets:

Summary
Deno's --deny-write check does not prevent permission bypass
Details

Summary

Deno.FsFile.prototype.utime and Deno.FsFile.prototype.utimeSync are not limited by the permission model check --deny-write=./.

It's possible to change to change the access (atime) and modification (mtime) times on the file stream resource even when the file is opened with read only permission (and write: false) and file write operations are not allowed (the script is executed with --deny-write=./).

Similar APIs like Deno.utime and Deno.utimeSync require allow-write permission, however, when a file is opened, even with read only flags and deny-write permission, it's still possible to change the access (atime) and modification (mtime) times, and thus bypass the permission model.

Details

A flaw has been found in yeqifu warehouse up to aaf29962ba407d22d991781de28796ee7b4670e4. The affected element is the function addDept/updateDept/deleteDept of the file dataset\repos\warehouse\src\main\java\com\yeqifu\sys\controller\DeptController.java of the component Department Management. Executing a manipulation can lead to improper authorization. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. This product takes the approach of rolling releases to provide continious delivery. Therefore, version details for affected and updated releases are not available. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

Mitigation MIT-1
Architecture and Design Operation

Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.

Mitigation MIT-17
Architecture and Design Operation

Strategy: Environment Hardening

Run your code using the lowest privileges that are required to accomplish the necessary tasks [REF-76]. If possible, create isolated accounts with limited privileges that are only used for a single task. That way, a successful attack will not immediately give the attacker access to the rest of the software or its environment. For example, database applications rarely need to run as the database administrator, especially in day-to-day operations.
