Summary
OpenCloud Reva has a Public Link Exploit
Details

Impact

A security issue was discovered in Reva based products that enables a malicious user to bypass the scope validation of a public link, allowing it to access resources outside the scope of a public link.

Details

Public link shares in OpenCloud are bound to a specific scope (usually a file or directory). Anonymous users accessing resources via this public link share are only allowed to access the share resource itself and, in case of a directory or space root, all child resources of it.

Due to a bug in the GRPC authorization middleware of the "Reva" component of OpenCloud a malicious user is able to bypass the scope verification. By exploiting this via the the "archiver" service this can be leveraged to create an archive (zip or tar-file) containing all resources that this creator of the public link has access to.

It is not possible to bypass the public link scope via "normal" WebDAV requests so it is not possible to exploit this vulnerability via WebDAV.

Patches

Update to OpenCloud Reva version >= 2.40.3 for the 2.40.x versions.\ Update to OpenCloud Reva version >= 2.42.3 for the 2.41.x versions

Workarounds

There is no workaround because one cannot run Reva standalone from this project. Please check the OpenCloud Advisory how to mitigate the problem in an OpenCloud deployment via configuration.

Duplicate Advisory: OpenClaw: Hook mapping templates could bypass hook session-key opt-in
Details

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-2xcp-x87w-q377. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

OpenClaw before 2026.4.20 contains a hook session-key bypass vulnerability that allows attackers to circumvent the hooks.allowRequestSessionKey opt-in restriction. Attackers can render externally influenced session keys through templated hook mappings to bypass webhook routing isolation controls.

An issue was discovered in Luna Simo PPR1.180610.011/202001031830. A pre-installed app with a package name of com.skyroam.silverhelper writes three IMEI values to system properties at system startup. The system property values can be obtained via getprop by all third-party applications co-located on the device, even those with no permissions granted, exposing the IMEI values to processes without enforcing any access control.

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.

No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
