Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-13 01:46 – Updated: 2022-05-13 01:46
VLAI
Details

A vulnerability in Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to gain higher privileges than the account is assigned. The attacker will be granted the privileges of the last user to log in, regardless of whether those privileges are higher or lower than what should have been granted. The attacker cannot gain root-level privileges. The vulnerability is due to a limitation with how Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) grants privileges to remotely authenticated users when login occurs via SSH directly to the local management interface of the APIC. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating to the targeted device. The attacker's privilege level will be modified to match that of the last user to log in via SSH. An exploit could allow the attacker to gain elevated privileges and perform CLI commands that should be restricted by the attacker's configured role. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvc34335. Known Affected Releases: 1.0(1e), 1.0(1h), 1.0(1k), 1.0(1n), 1.0(2j), 1.0(2m), 1.0(3f), 1.0(3i), 1.0(3k), 1.0(3n), 1.0(4h), 1.0(4o); 1.1(0.920a), 1.1(1j), 1.1(3f); 1.2 Base, 1.2(2), 1.2(3), 1.2.2; 1.3(1), 1.3(2), 1.3(2f); 2.0 Base, 2.0(1).

GHSA-PPVV-98QR-PG74

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-06-11 00:30 – Updated: 2025-06-11 00:30
VLAI
Details

The CloudStack Quota plugin has an improper privilege management logic in version 4.20.0.0. Anyone with authenticated user-account access in CloudStack 4.20.0.0 environments, where this plugin is enabled and have access to specific APIs can enable or disable reception of quota-related emails for any account in the environment and list their configurations.

Quota plugin users using CloudStack 4.20.0.0 are recommended to upgrade to CloudStack version 4.20.1.0, which fixes this issue.

Summary
Execution with Unnecessary Privileges in ipython
Details

We’d like to disclose an arbitrary code execution vulnerability in IPython that stems from IPython executing untrusted files in CWD. This vulnerability allows one user to run code as another.

Proof of concept

User1:

mkdir -m 777 /tmp/profile_default
mkdir -m 777 /tmp/profile_default/startup
echo 'print("stealing your private secrets")' > /tmp/profile_default/startup/foo.py

User2:

cd /tmp
ipython

User2 will see:

Python 3.9.7 (default, Oct 25 2021, 01:04:21)

GHSA-PQQF-7HXM-RJ5R

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-02-11 14:23 – Updated: 2026-02-18 23:30
VLAI
Summary
Leaky JWTs in OpenMetadata exposing highly-privileged bot users
Details

Summary

Calls issued by the UI against /api/v1/ingestionPipelines leak JWTs used by ingestion-bot for certain services (Glue / Redshift / Postgres)

Details

Any read-only user can gain access to a highly privileged account, typically which has the Ingestion Bot Role. This enables destructive changes in OpenMetadata instances, and potential data leakage (e.g. sample data, or service metadata which would be unavailable per roles/policies).

PoC

I was able to extract the JWT used by the bot/agent populating sample_athena.default in the Collate Sandbox. To prove this out, I mutated the description to this UUID: fe2e4cc1-da72-4acf-8535-112a3cfa9c7e, which you can see @ https://sandbox.open-metadata.org/database/sample_athena.default.

Steps to Reproduce

  • Create a Collate Sandbox account; these are non-admin accounts by default with minimal permissions.
  • Open the Developer Console
  • Go to the Services Page. In this case, sample_athena, though other services

  • In the Network tab, introspect the request made to api/v1/services/ingestionPipelines, and find the jwtToken in the response: image

  • Use the JWT to issue (potentially destructive) API calls image

  • Resulting mutated description: image

Note that this is also the case for these services, among others: * acme_nexus_redshift * sample_postgres

Proposed Remediation

Redact jwtToken in API payload. Implement role-based filtering - Only return JWT tokens to users with explicit admin/service account permissions (for Admins) Rotate Ingestion Bot Tokens in affected environments

Impact

What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?

  • Vulnerability Type: Privilege Escalation
  • Risk: User impersonation, even for those with read-only access, can lead to destructive outcomes if malicious actors leverage the leaked JWT.

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-48
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.

Mitigation MIT-49
Architecture and Design

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.
