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:

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.

Summary
Yamcs: Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) in PacketsApi allows unprivileged users to dump all telemetry packets
Details

Summary

The PacketsApi.exportPackets endpoint in Yamcs fails to properly enforce object-level privileges (ReadPacket) when an API request omits specific packet names. As a result, an attacker with a low-privileged account (or any authenticated user with zero privileges) can dump the entire archive of raw telemetry packets for a Yamcs instance. This leads to a massive Information Disclosure of sensitive mission telemetry, completely bypassing the intended Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model.

Vulnerability Details

In yamcs-core/src/main/java/org/yamcs/http/api/PacketsApi.java, the exportPackets method processes requests to export raw packets from the tm (telemetry archive) table.

    @Override
    public void exportPackets(Context ctx, ExportPacketsRequest request, Observer<HttpBody> observer) {
        String instance = InstancesApi.verifyInstance(request.getInstance());

        Set<String> nameSet = new HashSet<>(request.getNameList());
        ctx.checkObjectPrivileges(ObjectPrivilegeType.ReadPacket, nameSet);

        SqlBuilder sqlb = new SqlBuilder(XtceTmRecorder.TABLE_NAME);

        // ... time filters ...

        if (request.getNameCount() > 0) {
            sqlb.whereColIn("pname", nameSet);
        }
        String sql = sqlb.toString();
        // ...

The method attempts to verify privileges using ctx.checkObjectPrivileges(ObjectPrivilegeType.ReadPacket, nameSet). However, if the request.getNameList() is empty (i.e., the attacker does not specify any packet names to filter by), nameSet is empty. The checkObjectPrivileges method loops over this empty set and successfully passes without throwing a ForbiddenException.

Since request.getNameCount() is 0, no WHERE pname IN (...) filter is added to the SQL query. The resulting sql query becomes a SELECT * FROM tm (with optional time filters).

Finally, the query is executed and the results are streamed back to the user:

        StreamFactory.stream(instance, sql, sqlb.getQueryArguments(), new StreamSubscriber() {

            @Override
            public void onTuple(Stream stream, Tuple tuple) {
                if (observer.isCancelled()) {
                    stream.close();
                    return;
                }

                byte[] raw = (byte[]) tuple.getColumn(StandardTupleDefinitions.TM_PACKET_COLUMN);
                HttpBody body = HttpBody.newBuilder()
                        .setData(ByteString.copyFrom(raw))
                        .build();
                observer.next(body);
            }
            // ...

Crucially, unlike the streamPackets or exportPacket methods (which explicitly check ctx.user.hasObjectPrivilege for each packet retrieved before returning them), the onTuple handler in exportPackets blindly streams all retrieved packets to the user without any per-row authorization checks.

Thus, a user who possesses no ReadPacket privileges at all can easily bypass authorization and extract all telemetry data from the archive.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start the Yamcs server (e.g., using the simulation example) with authentication enforced.
  2. Log in as a low-privileged user (or use their credentials) who does not have the ReadPacket privilege.
  3. Send an HTTP GET request to the export packets endpoint without specifying any name parameters: bash curl -v -u low_priv_user:password "http://localhost:8090/api/archive/simulator:exportPackets" -o dumped_packets.raw
  4. Observe that the server responds with HTTP 200 OK and streams all raw packets to the response, saving them to dumped_packets.raw.
  5. The downloaded file contains raw CCSDS Space Packets (binary telemetry data).
  6. Contrast this with an attempt to fetch a specific packet (or calling listPackets for an unauthorized packet), which correctly enforces authorization and rejects the request.

Impact

Telemetry packets contain the core mission data, vehicle health status, and sensitive measurements (CCSDS Protocol data). This vulnerability completely breaks the access control model for telemetry data, allowing any authenticated user to exfiltrate all historical telemetry packets from the database. In an aerospace or mission-critical environment, this represents a severe data leak (Massive Information Disclosure) of proprietary or classified spacecraft data.

Remediation

Ensure that exportPackets enforces the same per-row privilege checks as streamPackets. Update the onTuple handler to check the user's privileges before emitting each packet:

            @Override
            public void onTuple(Stream stream, Tuple tuple) {
                if (observer.isCancelled()) {
                    stream.close();
                    return;
                }

                // FIX: Retrieve packet name and check authorization
                String pname = (String) tuple.getColumn(XtceTmRecorder.PNAME_COLUMN);
                if (ctx.user.hasObjectPrivilege(ObjectPrivilegeType.ReadPacket, pname)) {
                    byte[] raw = (byte[]) tuple.getColumn(StandardTupleDefinitions.TM_PACKET_COLUMN);
                    HttpBody body = HttpBody.newBuilder()
                            .setData(ByteString.copyFrom(raw))
                            .build();
                    observer.next(body);
                }
            }

Details

The The Divi theme for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 5.11.1. This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes. When the 'Force Enable D4 Shortcode Framework' option is enabled, this includes invoking the et_pb_contact_form shortcode to send email to an attacker-selected recipient with attacker-controlled content.

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.
