GHSA-CQ7Q-5C67-W39W
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-09-15 03:26 – Updated: 2022-10-07 16:25Impact
IRC allows you to specify multiple modes in a single mode command. Due to a bug in the underlying matrix-org/node-irc library, affected versions of matrix-appservice-irc perform parsing of such modes incorrectly, potentially resulting in the wrong user being given permissions.
Mode commands can only be executed by privileged users, so this can only be abused if an operator is tricked into running the command on behalf of an attacker.
Patches
The vulnerability has been patched in matrix-appservice-irc 0.35.0.
Workarounds
Refrain from entering mode commands suggested by untrusted users. Avoid using multiple modes in a single command.

This vulnerability is due to incorrect implementation of user role permissions. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating to the application as a user with the BWORKS or BWSUPERADMIN role and issuing crafted commands on an affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute commands beyond the sphere of their intended access level, including initiating installs or running operating system commands with elevated permissions.
There are workarounds that address this vulnerability.

GHSA-CQXR-XF2W-943W
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2021-05-11 00:05 – Updated: 2022-10-25 20:33Impact
This vulnerability impacts generated code. If this code was generated as a one-off occasion, not as a part of an automated CI/CD process, this code will remain vulnerable until fixed manually!
On Unix-Like systems, the system temporary directory is shared between all local users. When files/directories are created, the default umask settings for the process are respected. As a result, by default, most processes/apis will create files/directories with the permissions -rw-r--r-- and drwxr-xr-x respectively, unless an API that explicitly sets safe file permissions is used.
This vulnerability exists due to the use of the JDK method File.createTempFile. This method creates an insecure temporary files that can leave application and system data vulnerable to exposure.
Auto-generated code (Java, Scala) that deals with uploading or downloading binary data through API endpoints will create insecure temporary files during the process. For example, if the API endpoint returns a PDF file, the auto-generated clients will first download the PDF into a insecure temporary file that can be read by anyone on the system.

- Java
- okhttp-gson (default library)

Patches
The issue has been patched by changing the generated code to use the JDK method Files.createTempFile and released in the v5.1.0 stable version.
This vulnerability has the same root cause as CVE-2021-21364 from the swagger-api/swagger-codegen project as this project and that one both share the same original source tree.

GHSA-CR79-9PWF-R6F5
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2019-02-18 23:34 – Updated: 2021-09-16 20:42Affected versions of prince insecurely download an executable over an unencrypted HTTP connection.
In scenarios where an attacker has a privileged network position, it is possible to intercept the response and replace the executable with a malicious one, resulting in code execution on the system running prince.
Recommendation
Update to version 1.4.6 or later.

Mitigation MIT-1
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Mitigation MIT-48
Strategy: Separation of Privilege
Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.
Mitigation MIT-49
Strategy: Separation of Privilege
Consider following the principle of separation of privilege. Require multiple conditions to be met before permitting access to a system resource.
CAPEC-122: Privilege Abuse
An adversary is able to exploit features of the target that should be reserved for privileged users or administrators but are exposed to use by lower or non-privileged accounts. Access to sensitive information and functionality must be controlled to ensure that only authorized users are able to access these resources.
CAPEC-233: Privilege Escalation
An adversary exploits a weakness enabling them to elevate their privilege and perform an action that they are not supposed to be authorized to perform.
CAPEC-58: Restful Privilege Elevation
An adversary identifies a Rest HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permission method allowing them to perform various malicious actions upon server data due to lack of access control mechanisms implemented within the application service accepting HTTP messages.
