Details

A vulnerability in the web services interface of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass a configured access rule and access parts of the WebVPN portal that are supposed to be blocked. The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of URLs when portal access rules are configured. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by accessing certain URLs on the affected device.

Details

An access control vulnerability was discovered in the Credentials Manager functionality due to insufficient validation of user privileges. A remote authenticated user with limited privileges can view a limited subset of the available entries in the Credentials Manager. The actual credential values are not directly visible, but the user can delete entries or edit their properties. An attacker who deletes or edits an entry can disrupt authentication for dependent devices, and one who manipulates an entry's configuration may be able to indirectly obtain the credentials.

Summary
Nest: Middleware Bypass on Fastify via Trailing Slash
Details

Impact

An authentication bypass vulnerability exists in @nestjs/platform-fastify (confirmed on version 11.1.24, the latest available release at time of report). When middleware is registered through NestJS's MiddlewareConsumer.forRoutes() API on the Fastify adapter, an unauthenticated client can bypass the Nest middleware registered for that route by simply appending a trailing slash (/) to the request URL.

This bypass works on the default Fastify adapter configuration — no special router options need to be enabled. Applications using the standard CRUD route shape (GET /resource and GET /resource/:id) are affected when they protect those routes with MiddlewareConsumer.forRoutes() middleware.

Patches

Fixed in @nestjs/platform-fastify@11.1.24

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-01 20:12 – Updated: 2026-07-01 20:12
VLAI
Summary
SurrealDB has an Authorization Bypass via Composite Record-id Paths
Details

An authenticated user could bypass permission rules that gated access on parts of a record's id — most commonly tenant-isolation rules of the form PERMISSIONS FOR select WHERE id.tenant = $auth.id.tenant. The same defect also let UNIQUE constraints defined on parts of an id admit duplicate entries.

When a query referenced part of a composite record id (id.tenant, id.uid, …), SurrealDB read the value from the record's editable body fields instead of from the immutable id key. Because the body is editable but the id is fixed at creation, an attacker with write access could set the body field to any value and have permission checks read that spoofed value.

Impact

What an attacker can do:

  • Read records hidden by permission rules of the form id.<field> = $auth.<...> (typically tenant- or scope-isolation boundaries) by writing the same-named field on a record they control to the spoofed value.
  • Cause UNIQUE constraints defined on id.<field> to silently admit duplicate entries, leaving the database with rows that violate the constraint.

What it can't do:

  • Cross namespace or database isolation boundaries. -Bypass field-level PERMISSIONS FOR update clauses that don't reference id.<field> paths.
  • Affect availability or crash the server.

Patches

The value-path resolver now special-cases Part::Field and Part::Value against RecordIdKey::Object, reading the named component directly from the id key without ever entering select_document. The Array-keyed special case (id[0], id[1], …) is unchanged.

  • Versions 3.1.0 and later are not affected.

Workarounds

Users unable to patch are advised to consider the following workarounds: - Avoid permission expressions that read id.<field> on Object-keyed record ids; gate on the full record id (id = $auth.id) or on a server-derived session value instead. - Avoid UNIQUE indexes on id.<field> until 3.1.0; use DEFINE INDEX ... ON FIELDS id UNIQUE (the full id) where possible.

  "details": "An authenticated user could bypass permission rules that gated access on parts of a record\u0027s id \u2014 most commonly tenant-isolation rules of the form `PERMISSIONS FOR select WHERE id.tenant = $auth.id.tenant`. The same defect also let UNIQUE constraints defined on parts of an id admit duplicate entries.\n\nWhen a query referenced part of a composite record id (`id.tenant`, `id.uid`, \u2026), SurrealDB read the value from the record\u0027s editable body fields instead of from the immutable id key. Because the body is editable but the id is fixed at creation, an attacker with write access could set the body field to any value and have permission checks read that spoofed value.\n\n### Impact\n\nWhat an attacker **can** do:\n\n- Read records hidden by permission rules of the form `id.\u003cfield\u003e = $auth.\u003c...\u003e` (typically tenant- or scope-isolation boundaries) by writing the same-named field on a record they control to the spoofed value.\n- Cause UNIQUE constraints defined on `id.\u003cfield\u003e` to silently admit duplicate entries, leaving the database with rows that violate the constraint.\n\nWhat it **can\u0027t** do:\n\n- Cross namespace or database isolation boundaries.\n-Bypass field-level `PERMISSIONS FOR` update clauses that don\u0027t reference `id.\u003cfield\u003e` paths.\n- Affect availability or crash the server.\n\n### Patches\n\nThe value-path resolver now special-cases `Part::Field` and `Part::Value` against `RecordIdKey::Object`, reading the named component directly from the id key without ever entering `select_document`. The Array-keyed special case (`id[0]`, `id[1]`, \u2026) is unchanged.\n\n- Versions 3.1.0 and later are not affected.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nUsers unable to patch are advised to consider the following workarounds:\n- Avoid permission expressions that read `id.\u003cfield\u003e` on Object-keyed record ids; gate on the full record id (`id = $auth.id`) or on a server-derived session value instead.\n- Avoid UNIQUE indexes on `id.\u003cfield\u003e` until 3.1.0; use `DEFINE INDEX ... ON FIELDS id UNIQUE` (the full id) where possible.",

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.
