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

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: 2026-04-08 00:15 – Updated: 2026-04-10 21:33

Summary
RustFS has an authorization bypass in multipart UploadPartCopy enables cross-bucket object exfiltration
Details

RustFS contains a missing authorization check in the multipart copy path (UploadPartCopy). A low-privileged user who cannot read objects from a victim bucket can still exfiltrate victim objects by copying them into an attacker-controlled multipart upload and completing the upload.

This breaks tenant isolation in multi-user / multi-tenant deployments.

Impact

Unauthorized cross-bucket / cross-tenant data exfiltration (Confidentiality: High).

An attacker with only minimal permissions on their own bucket (multipart upload + Put/Get on destination objects) can copy and retrieve objects from a victim bucket without having s3:GetObject (or equivalent) permission on the source.

In the attached PoC, the attacker successfully exfiltrates a 5MB private object and proves integrity via matching SHA256 and size.

Threat Model (Realistic)

  • Victim tenant/user owns a bucket (e.g., victim-bucket-*) and stores private objects (e.g., private/finance_dump.bin).
  • Attacker tenant/user has no permissions on the victim bucket:
  • cannot ListObjects, HeadObject, GetObject, or CopyObject from the victim bucket.
  • Attacker has minimal permissions only on attacker bucket:
  • CreateMultipartUpload, UploadPart, UploadPartCopy, CompleteMultipartUpload, AbortMultipartUpload,
  • and PutObject/GetObject for objects in attacker bucket.
  • Despite this, attacker can exfiltrate victim objects via multipart copy.

Root Cause Analysis

The access control layer fails open for multipart copy-related operations:

File: rustfs/src/storage/access.rs - abort_multipart_upload() returns Ok(()) without authorization (L435–437) - complete_multipart_upload() returns Ok(()) without authorization (L442–444) - upload_part_copy() returns Ok(()) without authorization (L1446–1448)

In contrast, copy_object() correctly enforces authorization: - source GetObject authorization (L469) - destination PutObject authorization (L478)

The multipart copy implementation reads the source object directly:

File: rustfs/src/app/multipart_usecase.rs - store.get_object_reader(&src_bucket, &src_key, ...) (L959–962)

Because upload_part_copy() does not enforce source GetObject authorization, the server reads and copies victim data even when the requester lacks permission.

Affected Versions

  • Tested vulnerable on: main @ c1d5106acc3480c275a52344df84633bb6dcd8f0
  • Git describe: 1.0.0-alpha.86-3-gc1d5106a

The fail-open authorization behavior for UploadPartCopy was introduced in: - Commit: 09ea11c13 (per git blame on rustfs/src/storage/access.rs:1443-1448)

Affected range (recommended wording): - All versions from commit 09ea11c13 through c1d5106acc3480c275a52344df84633bb6dcd8f0 (and likely any releases containing those commits) until a fix is applied.

Package version (Cargo metadata)

  • rustfs crate version in this tree: 0.0.5 (cargo metadata)

Proof of Concept (PoC) – Real Commands + Verified Results

Files

Place the PoC script at the repository root:

Environment

RustFS running locally (Docker is simplest), listening on:

  • http://127.0.0.1:9000

Tools: - awscli, jq, awscurl

Steps to Reproduce

1) Start RustFS (example):

docker compose -f docker-compose-simple.yml up -d
````

2. Run the PoC and save output:

```bash
chmod +x poc_uploadpartcopy_exfil_v3.sh
./poc_uploadpartcopy_exfil_v3.sh | tee poc_v3_output.txt

Attachments

Expected Behavior

  • Attacker operations against victim bucket should be denied:

  • ListObjects -> AccessDenied

  • HeadObject -> AccessDenied
  • GetObject -> AccessDenied
  • CopyObject -> AccessDenied
  • UploadPartCopy from victim -> attacker multipart should also be denied.

Actual Behavior

  • All direct operations against victim are denied (as expected),
  • but UploadPartCopy succeeds, and attacker retrieves the copied object from attacker bucket.

Observed PoC Output

Victim uploads a private object:

  • size: 5,242,880 bytes
  • sha256: fda018db1da9d8f4c1b287c75943384a3b4ede391ec156039b6d94e17d6ad68f

Attacker exfiltrates it via multipart copy:

  • stolen size: 5,242,880 bytes
  • stolen sha256: fda018db1da9d8f4c1b287c75943384a3b4ede391ec156039b6d94e17d6ad68f

Proof:

  • hashes and sizes match (victim == stolen) -> unauthorized cross-bucket read confirmed.

Network Evidence (Redacted)

The debug log shows a successful request with:

  • HTTP method: PUT
  • destination: /<attacker-bucket>/<dst-key>?partNumber=1&uploadId=...
  • header: x-amz-copy-source: <victim-bucket>/private/finance_dump.bin
  • response: HTTP/1.1 200 with <CopyPartResult><ETag>...</ETag>...</CopyPartResult>

Fix

Implement authorization checks equivalent to copy_object() for multipart copy paths:

  • upload_part_copy:

  • enforce source GetObject authorization on x-amz-copy-source

  • enforce destination PutObject authorization on the target object
  • (recommended) apply the same tag-condition enforcement used by copy_object() on the source.

  • complete_multipart_upload:

  • enforce destination PutObject authorization

  • abort_multipart_upload:

  • enforce appropriate multipart permission (or destination PutObject as a safe boundary)

VLAI
Details

The Ultimate Member – User Profile, Registration, Login, Member Directory, Content Restriction & Membership Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.13.1 This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to view privacy-restricted member profile field values — including fields explicitly configured as owner-only, members-only, or role-restricted — by querying the publicly accessible wp_ajax_nopriv_um_get_members endpoint. The nonce required by the endpoint ('um-frontend-nonce') is emitted to all unauthenticated visitors via wp_localize_script, meaning it provides no meaningful access control and any anonymous visitor can satisfy the endpoint's authentication requirements.

Summary
Jenkins Sumologic Publisher Plugin missing permission check
Details

Jenkins Sumologic Publisher Plugin 2.2.1 and earlier does not perform a permission check in a method implementing form validation.

This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to connect to an attacker-specified URL.

Additionally, this form validation method does not require POST requests, resulting in a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability.

Details

The HEL Online Classroom: AI-powered Online Classrooms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.3. This is due to a missing capability check on a REST API endpoint registered with a permission_callback of '__return_true', which bypasses all WordPress authentication and authorization checks. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete any classroom record by supplying its ID in the request, resulting in permanent data loss.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-16 06:30 – Updated: 2026-08-16 06:30
VLAI
Details

The Kubio AI Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.5. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to overwrite front-page configuration options (show_on_front, page_on_front, and page_for_posts), rewrite primary navigation menu items, replace template parts, and overwrite the Kubio global-data post. Although a nonce check via check_ajax_referer() is present, the nonce is unconditionally emitted into window.kubioUtilsData for every user who can load the block editor, making it harvestable by any Contributor and therefore an ineffective authorization barrier.

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].

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.
