Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-09-16 21:00 – Updated: 2025-01-17 15:55
VLAI
Summary
Docker supplementary group permissions not set up properly, allowing attackers to bypass primary group restrictions
Details

Moby is an open-source project created by Docker to enable software containerization. A bug was found in Moby (Docker Engine) where supplementary groups are not set up properly. If an attacker has direct access to a container and manipulates their supplementary group access, they may be able to use supplementary group access to bypass primary group restrictions in some cases, potentially gaining access to sensitive information or gaining the ability to execute code in that container. This bug is fixed in Moby (Docker Engine) 20.10.18. Users should update to this version when it is available. Running containers should be stopped and restarted for the permissions to be fixed. For users unable to upgrade, this problem can be worked around by not using the "USER $USERNAME" Dockerfile instruction. Instead by calling ENTRYPOINT ["su", "-", "user"] the supplementary groups will be set up properly.

Thanks to Steven Murdoch for reporting this issue.

Impact

If an attacker has direct access to a container and manipulates their supplementary group access, they may be able to use supplementary group access to bypass primary group restrictions in some cases, potentially gaining access to sensitive information or gaining the ability to execute code in that container.

Patches

This bug is fixed in Moby (Docker Engine) 20.10.18. Users should update to this version when it is available.

Workarounds

This problem can be worked around by not using the "USER $USERNAME" Dockerfile instruction. Instead by calling ENTRYPOINT ["su", "-", "user"] the supplementary groups will be set up properly.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-04 17:20 – Updated: 2026-05-08 15:31
VLAI
Summary
Quarkus has Authentication/Authorization bypasses
Details

Quarkus version 3.32.4 is vulnerable to an authorization bypass issue (GHSL-2026-099), in which semicolons (matrix parameters) in HTTP requests can be used to bypass security constraints, potentially allowing unauthorized access to protected resources.

Unauthenticated or lower-privileged users can bypass HTTP path-based authorization policies by appending a semicolon (;) and arbitrary text to the request URL. The vulnerability arises from a path-normalization inconsistency: Quarkus's security layer performs authorization checks on the raw URL path (which preserves matrix parameters), whereas RESTEasy Reactive's routing layer strips matrix parameters before matching endpoints. This allows requests like /api/admin;anything to bypass policies protecting /api/admin while still routing to the protected endpoint.

Impact

This issue may lead to Authentication/Authorization bypasses.

Credits

This issue was discovered with the GitHub Security Lab Taskflow Agent and manually verified by GHSL team members @p- (Peter Stöckli) and @m-y-mo (Man Yue Mo).

Summary
Apache Ozone: Improper authentication when generating S3 secrets
Details

Improper authentication of an HTTP endpoint in the S3 Gateway of Apache Ozone 1.4.0 allows any authenticated Kerberos user to revoke and regenerate the S3 secrets of any other user. This is only possible if: * ozone.s3g.secret.http.enabled is set to true. The default value of this configuration is false. * The user configured in ozone.s3g.kerberos.principal is also configured in ozone.s3.administrators or ozone.administrators.

Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Ozone version 1.4.1 which disables the affected endpoint.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-23 21:17 – Updated: 2026-06-23 21:17
VLAI
Summary
jackson-databind has a @JsonView bypass for unwrapped creator parameters
Details

Summary

UnwrappedPropertyHandler.processUnwrappedCreatorProperties() replays buffered JSON into creator parameters but never consults prop.visibleInView(activeView). The normal property-based creator path gates creator properties on the active view, but this unwrapped-creator replay path bypasses that check, so a constructor parameter annotated with both @JsonView(AdminView.class) and @JsonUnwrapped is populated from attacker JSON even when a more restrictive view is active.

Impact

View-restricted unwrapped creator parameters can be set from untrusted input where @JsonView is used as a write-side authorization boundary.

Affected / Patched (verified via git tag --contains)

  • 2.21 line: >= 2.21.0, < 2.21.4 -> fixed in 2.21.4 (backport 721fa07, #5973)
  • 3.x line: >= 3.0.0, < 3.1.4 -> fixed in 3.1.4 (#5971, d633bc0)

Severity / CWE

Maintainer: minor. Reporter: HIGH. CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization); related CWE-284.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-13 01:14 – Updated: 2022-05-13 01:14
VLAI
Details

A vulnerability in the CLI of Cisco NX-OS Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to escalate lower-level privileges to the administrator level. The vulnerability is due to insufficient authorization enforcement. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating to the targeted device and executing commands that could lead to elevated privileges. A successful exploit could allow an attacker to make configuration changes to the system as administrator. Nexus 3000 Series Switches are affected in versions prior to 7.0(3)I7(4). Nexus 3500 Platform Switches are affected in versions prior to 7.0(3)I7(4). Nexus 3600 Platform Switches are affected in versions prior to 7.0(3)F3(5). Nexus 9000 Series Switches-Standalone are affected in versions prior to 7.0(3)I7(4). Nexus 9500 R-Series Line Cards and Fabric Modules are affected in versions prior to 7.0(3)F3(5).

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.
