Modes of introduction
Architecture and Design

OMISSION: This weakness is caused by missing a security tactic during the architecture and design phase.

Authorization weaknesses may arise when a single-user application is ported to a multi-user environment.

Implementation

A developer may introduce authorization weaknesses because of a lack of understanding about the underlying technologies. For example, a developer may assume that attackers cannot modify certain inputs such as headers or cookies.

Operation
Detection methods

Automated Static Analysis

Automated static analysis is useful for detecting commonly-used idioms for authorization. A tool may be able to analyze related configuration files, such as .htaccess in Apache web servers, or detect the usage of commonly-used authorization libraries.

Generally, automated static analysis tools have difficulty detecting custom authorization schemes. In addition, the software's design may include some functionality that is accessible to any user and does not require an authorization check; an automated technique that detects the absence of authorization may report false positives.

Effectiveness: Limited

Automated Dynamic Analysis

Automated dynamic analysis may find many or all possible interfaces that do not require authorization, but manual analysis is required to determine if the lack of authorization violates business logic.

Manual Analysis

This weakness can be detected using tools and techniques that require manual (human) analysis, such as penetration testing, threat modeling, and interactive tools that allow the tester to record and modify an active session.

Specifically, manual static analysis is useful for evaluating the correctness of custom authorization mechanisms.

Effectiveness: Moderate

These may be more effective than strictly automated techniques. This is especially the case with weaknesses that are related to design and business rules. However, manual efforts might not achieve desired code coverage within limited time constraints.

Manual Static Analysis - Binary or Bytecode

According to SOAR [REF-1479], the following detection techniques may be useful:

Cost effective for partial coverage:

Binary / Bytecode disassembler - then use manual analysis for vulnerabilities & anomalies

Effectiveness: SOAR Partial

Dynamic Analysis with Automated Results Interpretation

According to SOAR [REF-1479], the following detection techniques may be useful:

Cost effective for partial coverage:

Web Application Scanner

Web Services Scanner

Database Scanners

Manual Source Code Review (not inspections)

Effectiveness: SOAR Partial

Automated Static Analysis - Source Code

According to SOAR [REF-1479], the following detection techniques may be useful:

Cost effective for partial coverage:

Source code Weakness Analyzer

Context-configured Source Code Weakness Analyzer

Effectiveness: SOAR Partial

Architecture or Design Review

According to SOAR [REF-1479], the following detection techniques may be useful:

Highly cost effective:

Inspection (IEEE 1028 standard) (can apply to requirements, design, source code, etc.)

Formal Methods / Correct-By-Construction

Effectiveness: High

Notes

Terminology

Assuming a user with a given identity, authorization is the process of determining whether that user can access a given resource, based on the user's privileges and any permissions or other access-control specifications that apply to the resource.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-21 15:20 – Updated: 2026-04-27 16:31

Summary
OpenMage LTS: Cross-user wishlist import leads to private option & file disclosure
Details

Cross-user wishlist item import via shared wishlist code, leading to private option disclosure and file-disclosure variant

Summary

The shared wishlist add-to-cart endpoint authorizes access with a public sharing_code, but loads the acted-on wishlist item by a separate global wishlist_item_id and never verifies that the item belongs to the shared wishlist referenced by that code.

This lets an attacker use:

  • a valid shared wishlist code for wishlist A
  • a wishlist item ID belonging to victim wishlist B

to import victim item B into the attacker's cart through the shared wishlist flow for wishlist A.

Because the victim item's stored buyRequest is reused during cart import, the victim's private custom-option data is copied into the attacker's quote. If the product uses a file custom option, this can be elevated to cross-user file disclosure because the imported file metadata is preserved and the download endpoint is not ownership-bound.

Vulnerability Type

  • Broken object-level authorization / IDOR
  • Cross-user data disclosure
  • Cross-user file disclosure variant

Root Cause

In app/code/core/Mage/Wishlist/controllers/SharedController.php, the shared flow does:

$item = Mage::getModel('wishlist/item')->load($itemId);
$wishlist = Mage::getModel('wishlist/wishlist')->loadByCode($code);
...
$item->addToCart($cart);

Relevant lines:

  • SharedController.php:86 loads the wishlist item by global ID
  • SharedController.php:87 loads the wishlist by shared code
  • SharedController.php:99 imports the item into cart

There is no check that:

$item->getWishlistId() == $wishlist->getId()

The safe owner flow in app/code/core/Mage/Wishlist/controllers/IndexController.php:521-528 does preserve this binding by deriving the wishlist from item->getWishlistId().

The imported item keeps its original buyRequest because app/code/core/Mage/Wishlist/Model/Item.php:370-372 passes that stored request directly into:

$cart->addProduct($product, $buyRequest);

Security Impact

Baseline impact

An attacker can import another user's private wishlist item into the attacker's own cart, using an unrelated shared wishlist code.

This is a clear cross-user authorization bypass. The victim item's private configuration is copied into the attacker's quote, including custom-option values such as personalized text.

Stronger variant: cross-user file disclosure

If the victim item contains a custom option of type file, the imported quote item preserves file metadata such as:

  • quote_path
  • order_path
  • secret_key

The file option renderer in app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Product/Option/Type/File.php:547-552 generates a download URL from:

  • the imported sales/quote_item_option ID
  • the preserved secret_key

The downloader in app/code/core/Mage/Sales/controllers/DownloadController.php:150-185:

  • loads quote item option by global ID
  • verifies only product option type and secret_key
  • reads the file from order_path or quote_path

It does not verify ownership of the quote item, order, or original wishlist item. This creates a cross-user file disclosure path once victim file metadata has been imported.

Steps To Reproduce

Lab data

  • shared wishlist A:
  • wishlist_id = 1
  • customer_id = 2
  • sharing_code = 6376bb8c37a09c2de3664bd8cdc16412
  • victim wishlist B:
  • wishlist_id = 2
  • customer_id = 3
  • victim item:
  • wishlist_item_id = 1
  • wishlist_id = 2
  • product_id = 2
  • victim private text option marker:
  • VICTIM-MARKER-49040822

Reproduction

Send:

GET /wishlist/shared/cart/?code=6376bb8c37a09c2de3664bd8cdc16412&item=1

Where:

  • code belongs to shared wishlist A
  • item=1 belongs to victim wishlist B

Expected result

The request should be rejected because the item does not belong to the shared wishlist referenced by the sharing_code.

Actual result

The application imports victim item 1 into the attacker's quote anyway.

Verified Evidence

Baseline variant

Previously verified at quote/option level in lab:

option_1 = VICTIM-MARKER-49040822

This shows that the attacker's cart received victim-private custom-option data from another user's wishlist item.

File-disclosure variant

Previously verified in lab after importing a victim file-option payload:

/sales/download/downloadCustomOption/id/9/key/86fca9b61c0b891b52fb/

This URL was generated from imported quote item option data containing the victim file metadata and secret key.

Why This Is A Valid Bug

This is not a timing issue and does not depend on non-default security settings.

The bug is a direct authorization failure:

  • authorization is based on wishlist A's share code
  • the acted-on object is item B from another wishlist
  • there is no item-to-wishlist binding check
  • victim-controlled item state is then copied into attacker-controlled cart state

That is a broken object-level authorization issue with clear cross-user impact.

Remediation

In SharedController::cartAction(), reject any request where the loaded item does not belong to the wishlist loaded from the share code:

$item = Mage::getModel('wishlist/item')->load($itemId);
$wishlist = Mage::getModel('wishlist/wishlist')->loadByCode($code);

if (!$item->getId() || !$wishlist->getId() || (int) $item->getWishlistId() !== (int) $wishlist->getId()) {
    return $this->_forward('noRoute');
}

Defense in depth:

  • bind sales/download/downloadCustomOption to the current quote/order owner instead of trusting only id + secret_key

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-10-28 09:31 – Updated: 2026-10-28 09:31
VLAI
Details

The Advanced Custom Fields: Extended plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data and triggering of server-side actions in all versions up to, and including, 0.9.2.7. This is due to multiple AJAX handlers registered for unauthenticated users (wp_ajax_nopriv_*) that fail to implement proper current_user_can() authorization checks. While these handlers use ACF's acf_verify_ajax() function to validate cryptographic nonces, the acf_nonce values are generated for guest users and publicly exposed in the page source of any frontend page utilizing an ACF form. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract the guest nonce and bypass WordPress visibility permissions, leading to the unauthorized disclosure of post titles and internal Flexible Content layout structures. The vulnerability was partially patched in version 0.9.2.4.

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.
