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

Effectiveness: SOAR Partial

Dynamic Analysis with Manual Results Interpretation

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

Cost effective for partial coverage:

Host Application Interface Scanner

Fuzz Tester

Framework-based Fuzzer

Effectiveness: SOAR Partial

Manual Static Analysis - Source Code

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

Cost effective for partial coverage:

Focused Manual Spotcheck - Focused manual analysis of source

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.

Summary
Jenkins ElasticBox CI Plugin missing permission check
Details

Jenkins ElasticBox CI Plugin 5.0.1 and earlier does not perform permission checks in several HTTP endpoints.

This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to connect to an attacker-specified URL using attacker-specified credentials IDs obtained through another method, capturing credentials stored in Jenkins.

Additionally, these HTTP endpoints do not require POST requests, resulting in a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-09-20 21:18 – Updated: 2022-09-20 21:18
VLAI
Summary
XWiki Platform Security Parent POM vulnerable to overwriting of security rules of a page with a final page having the same reference
Details

Impact

A bug in the security cache is storing rules associated to document Page1.Page2 and space Page1.Page2 in the same cache entry.

That means that it's possible to overwrite the rights of a space or a document by creating the page of the space with the same name and checking the right of the new one first so that they end up in the security cache and are used for the other too.

Patches

The problem has been patched in XWiki 12.10.11, 13.10.1, 13.4.6.

Workarounds

No workaround other than patching.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-10-02 22:39 – Updated: 2026-10-02 22:39

Summary
Trigger.dev: V1 coordinator default-secret unauth Socket.IO
Details

TL;DR

The /coordinator Socket.IO namespace mounts on every webapp boot and authenticates with a default secret ("coordinator-secret") baked into source. The override variable isn't documented in the self-host docs, .env.example, or helm values, so any operator who didn't read source ships with the default. Once connected, READY_FOR_EXECUTION returns the run's decrypted env vars. Anyone who can reach a default-config self-hosted webapp can pull production secrets out of any run whose internal id they can find.

Vulnerabilities

This attack is made possible by 3 vulnerabilities in Trigger.dev:

1. Hardcoded default authentication secret (CWE-798, Critical)

PROVIDER_SECRET and COORDINATOR_SECRET are declared with .default("provider-secret") / .default("coordinator-secret") in apps/webapp/app/env.server.ts:289-290. The values are present in the public source repo, neither var is documented in docs/self-hosting/env/*.mdx, hosting/docker/.env.example, or hosting/k8s/helm/values.yaml, and the auth check at packages/core/src/v3/zodNamespace.ts:148 is a plain string compare against that published value

2. Coordinator handler returns decrypted env vars to any authenticated caller (CWE-200, High)

READY_FOR_EXECUTION at apps/webapp/app/v3/handleSocketIo.server.ts:123 calls sharedQueueTasks.getLatestExecutionPayloadFromRun(runId, ...), which at apps/webapp/app/v3/marqs/sharedQueueConsumer.server.ts:1881-1895 returns payload.environment as the run's decrypted env-var dictionary. Any internal runId is enough to exfil that run's full env, regardless of tenant. Note: this read handler lives in V1-only marqs/ code, so it returns nothing for runs on V2 (Run Engine 2.0). Self-hosts still on V1 are fully exposed; v4-only deployments only see the write handlers below

3. Other coordinator handlers accept attacker-controlled writes against arbitrary runs (CWE-862, High)

TASK_RUN_COMPLETED, TASK_RUN_COMPLETED_WITH_ACK, TASK_RUN_FAILED_TO_RUN, CHECKPOINT_CREATED, CREATE_WORKER and friends invoke webapp services with attacker-supplied completion / attempt / worker payloads. None of them check that the caller has authority over the runId or attemptId in the message. attempt_* friendlyIds leak through every dashboard URL and emailed alert, so writes are trivially reachable without any internal id

Exploit chain / PoC

import { io } from "socket.io-client";

const sock = io("https://<self-hosted-target>/coordinator", {
  auth: { token: "coordinator-secret" },
  transports: ["websocket"],
});

sock.on("connect", () => {
  // exfil decrypted env for a known run id
  sock.emit("READY_FOR_EXECUTION", { runId: "<runId>", totalCompletions: 0 }, (res) => {
    console.log(res.payload.environment);
    // { DATABASE_URL: "...", STRIPE_SECRET_KEY: "...", OPENAI_API_KEY: "...", ... }
  });

  // mark any attempt failed
  sock.emit("TASK_RUN_FAILED_TO_RUN", {
    completion: {
      id: "<attempt_friendlyId>",
      ok: false,
      error: { type: "INTERNAL_ERROR", code: "FORGED", message: "owned" },
    },
  });
});

Resolution

Fixed in v4.5.4. The entire end-of-life V1 (Run Engine 1.0) execution stack was removed in commit 5ba8557a5 (#4236) — including the /coordinator, /provider, and /shared-queue Socket.IO namespaces, packages/core/src/v3/zodNamespace.ts, the marqs shared-queue consumer, and the PROVIDER_SECRET / COORDINATOR_SECRET environment variables.

All three vulnerabilities are absent in v4.5.4 and later: the vulnerable namespaces no longer mount, the READY_FOR_EXECUTION env-var read handler and the unauthenticated write handlers no longer exist, and the hardcoded default secrets are gone.

Affected: self-hosted Trigger.dev < 4.5.4. Vulnerability #2 (decrypted env-var exfiltration) additionally required a deployment still running Run Engine 1.0; v4-only (Run Engine 2.0) deployments were exposed only to the write handlers (#3).

Managed cloud (cloud.trigger.dev) was not affected: it was configured with non-default control-plane secrets, so the default-secret entry point (vulnerability #1) that gates the chain never applied.

Action: self-hosted operators on any release before v4.5.4 should upgrade to v4.5.4 or later.

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.
