Summary
Jenkins Subversion Plugin Incorrect Authorization vulnerability
Details

An improper authorization vulnerability exists in Jenkins Subversion Plugin version 2.10.2 and earlier in SubversionStatus.java and SubversionRepositoryStatus.java that allows an attacker with network access to obtain a list of nodes and users. As of version 2.10.3, the class handling requests to /subversion/ no longer extends the class handling requests to the …/search/ sub-path, therefore any such requests will fail.

Summary
Resource Exhaustion in Spring Security
Details

Spring Security versions 5.5.x prior to 5.5.1, 5.4.x prior to 5.4.7, 5.3.x prior to 5.3.10 and 5.2.x prior to 5.2.11 are susceptible to a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack via the initiation of the Authorization Request in an OAuth 2.0 Client Web and WebFlux application. A malicious user or attacker can send multiple requests initiating the Authorization Request for the Authorization Code Grant, which has the potential of exhausting system resources using a single session or multiple sessions.

Details

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-hpgw-ww76-c68r. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

phpMyFAQ before 4.1.2 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in AbstractAdministrationController::userHasPermission() that fails to terminate execution after sending a forbidden response. Attackers can access all permission-protected admin pages by requesting their URLs as authenticated users, exposing admin logs, user data, system information, and application configuration.

VLAI
Details

PwnDoc through 2021-04-22 has incorrect JSON Webtoken handling, leading to incorrect access control. With a valid JSON Webtoken that is used for authentication and authorization, a user can keep his admin privileges even if he is downgraded to the "user" privilege. Even after a user's account is deleted, the user can still access the administration panel (and add or delete users) and has complete access to the system.

Details

An improper authorization handling flaw was found in Foreman. The Shellhooks plugin for the smart-proxy allows Foreman clients to execute actions that should be limited to the Foreman Server. This flaw allows an authenticated local attacker to access and delete limited resources and also causes a denial of service on the Foreman server. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to integrity and system availability.

GHSA-WC8C-QW6V-H7F6

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-04 20:05 – Updated: 2026-03-06 22:43
VLAI
Summary
@hono/node-server has authorization bypass for protected static paths via encoded slashes in Serve Static Middleware
Details

Summary

When using @hono/node-server's static file serving together with route-based middleware protections (e.g. protecting /admin/*), inconsistent URL decoding can allow protected static resources to be accessed without authorization.

In particular, paths containing encoded slashes (%2F) may be evaluated differently by routing/middleware matching versus static file path resolution, enabling a bypass where middleware does not run but the static file is still served.

Details

The routing layer and the node-server static handler normalize request paths differently. The router preserves %2F as a literal string when matching routes, while the static handler decodes %2F into / before resolving the filesystem path.

Example request:

  • /admin%2Fsecret.html

This may: - fail to match middleware intended for /admin/*, but - still be resolved by the static handler as /admin/secret.html under the configured static root.

This does not allow access outside the configured static root and is not a path traversal vulnerability.

Impact

An unauthenticated attacker could bypass route-based authorization protections for protected static resources by supplying paths containing encoded slashes.

Applications relying solely on route-based middleware to protect static subpaths under the same static root may have exposed those resources.

GHSA-WCCP-C983-J22Q

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-13 01:34 – Updated: 2022-05-13 01:34
VLAI
Details

A vulnerability in the authorization subsystem of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software could allow an authenticated, but unprivileged (levels 0 and 1), remote attacker to perform privileged actions by using the web management interface. The vulnerability is due to improper validation of user privileges when using the web management interface. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending specific HTTP requests via HTTPS to an affected device as an unprivileged user. An exploit could allow the attacker to retrieve files (including the running configuration) from the device or to upload and replace software images on the device.

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.
