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

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: 2026-06-18 15:05 – Updated: 2026-06-18 15:05

Summary
Kirby: Access to files of top-level drafts is not protected by permissions
Details

TL;DR

This vulnerability affects Kirby 5 sites that have the content.fileRedirects option enabled (set to true or a custom closure) as well as all Kirby 4 sites that haven't explicitly disabled this option.

It was possible to access clean file URLs of top-level drafts (e.g. /about-us/team.jpg) without providing authentication, without being authorized to access the top-level draft page, and without providing a valid preview token.

Sites on Kirby 5 using the default configuration are not affected by this vulnerability (the content.fileRedirects option is disabled by default since Kirby 5.0.0). It was also not possible to maliciously access clean file URLs for files stored in page drafts that are not on the top-level (such as /blog/article/resource.pdf).


Introduction

Missing authorization allows authenticated users to perform actions they are not intended to have access to.

The effects of missing authorization can include unauthorized access to sensitive information as well as unauthorized changes to content or system information.

Affected components

Clean file redirects allow visitors to access files stored in the content folder via natural URLs such as /about-us/team.jpg or /blog/article/resource.pdf. Kirby detects such requests and redirects them to the actual physical file URLs in the media folder.

Kirby 4.8.0 introduced the content.fileRedirects option that allowed disabling this behavior to protect against third-party access to original source files. Kirby 5.0.0 then made the secure behavior (disabled option) the default. It is also possible to set the option to a closure to dynamically control access for each individual file.

Files can be stored in pages. Pages can exist as drafts. In this draft state, the page preview is only accessible to users who are authenticated and authorized by the pages.access permission or to visitors who have received the direct preview URL with a valid preview token.

Impact

In affected releases, the clean file redirects didn't take access logic for drafts into account. When a file stored in a draft page was accessed via its clean file URL, Kirby immediately redirected to the physical media URL without first checking whether the draft page was accessible to the user or visitor. This only affected top-level drafts (direct children of the site) because clean file URLs currently don't work for drafts that are nested under another page.

The unauthorized clean file URL redirects for files in top-level drafts can lead to disclosure of sensitive information or data, e.g., ahead of the launch of a new product or post.

A successful attack requires knowledge of the full path to the draft page and file, and therefore requires knowing the full clean file URL.

Patches

The problem has been patched in Kirby 4.9.4 and Kirby 5.4.4. Please update to one of these or a later version to fix the vulnerability.

In all of the mentioned releases, we added an authorization check to the route that redirects clean file URLs of drafts. This route now performs the same checks as the draft preview route, i.e., it only performs the redirect if a user is logged in and has the pages.access permission on the draft, or if a valid preview token was provided in the request URL.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-01-07 12:31 – Updated: 2025-01-07 12:31
VLAI
Details

The RSVP and Event Management plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on several AJAX functions like bulk_delete_attendees() and bulk_delete_questions() in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.13. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete questions and attendees and for authenticated users to update question menu orders.

Summary
golang.org/x/crypto: FIDO/U2F security key physical presence check can be bypassed
Details

The Verify() method for FIDO/U2F security key types (sk-ecdsa-sha2-nistp256@openssh.com, sk-ssh-ed25519@openssh.com) did not check the User Presence flag. Signatures generated without physical touch were accepted, allowing unattended use of a hardware security key. To restore the previous behavior, return a "no-touch-required" extension in Permissions.Extensions from PublicKeyCallback.

Summary
Duplicate Advisory: Missing publish-access check on getBlockBreadcrumb, getRefText, and getBlockTreeInfos discloses content and metadata of protected/forbidden documents
Details

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-67x2-mq63-v9vm. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

SiYuan versions before v3.7.4 fail to enforce publish-access checks on getBlockBreadcrumb, getRefText, and getBlockTreeInfos endpoints, allowing disclosure of protected document content and metadata. Anonymous readers or publish RoleReader accounts can retrieve document titles, ancestor block content snippets, reference text, and path metadata for publish-forbidden or password-protected documents by supplying block IDs.

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.
