GHSA-3637-V6VQ-XQQW
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-09-16 19:29 – Updated: 2024-11-19 16:24Impact
Harbor fails to validate the user permissions when updating tag retention policies. API call:
PUT /retentions/{id}
By sending a request to update a tag retention policy with an id that belongs to a project that the currently authenticated user doesn’t have access to, the attacker could modify tag retention policies configured in other projects.
Patches
This and similar issues are fixed in Harbor v2.5.2 and later. Please upgrade as soon as possible.
Workarounds
There are no workarounds available.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-21 21:32 – Updated: 2026-07-21 21:32MediaCMS 8.2.0 contains an information disclosure vulnerability that allows authenticated users to expose private media metadata belonging to other users by adding arbitrary media tokens to their own playlist without access control checks. Attackers can issue a PUT request to the playlist API endpoint with a known media token to bypass state and ownership validation, then retrieve the playlist to read private media fields including title, description, view count, like count, file size, author username, and encoding status through the unfiltered playlist owner branch in the playlist detail view.

"details": "MediaCMS 8.2.0 contains an information disclosure vulnerability that allows authenticated users to expose private media metadata belonging to other users by adding arbitrary media tokens to their own playlist without access control checks. Attackers can issue a PUT request to the playlist API endpoint with a known media token to bypass state and ownership validation, then retrieve the playlist to read private media fields including title, description, view count, like count, file size, author username, and encoding status through the unfiltered playlist owner branch in the playlist detail view.",

Mitigation
- 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
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
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
- 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
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.
