GHSA-H4MF-75HF-67W4

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2020-03-04 20:20 – Updated: 2021-01-08 20:27

Summary

Information disclosure in parse-server

Details

you can fetch all the users' objects, by using regex in the NoSQL query. Using the NoSQL, you can use a regex on sessionToken ("_SessionToken":{"$regex":"r:027f"}} and find valid accounts this way.

Using this method, it's possible to retrieve accounts without interaction from the users.

GET /parse/users/me HTTP/1.1

{
  "_ApplicationId": "appName",
  "_JavaScriptKey": "javascriptkey",
  "_ClientVersion": "js2.10.0",
  "_InstallationId": "ca713ee2-6e60-d023-a8fe-14e1bfb2f300",
  "_SessionToken": {
    "$regex": "r:5"
  }
}

When trying it with an update query the same thing luckily doesn't seem to work: POST /parse/classes/_User/PPNk59jPPZ

There is another similar vulnerability in verify email and the request password reset.

If you sign up with someone else's email address, you can simply use regex in the token param to verify the account: http://localhost:1337/parse/apps/kickbox/verify_email?token[$regex]=a&username=some@email.com

The same thing can be done for reset password: http://localhost:1337/parse/apps/kickbox/request_password_reset?token[$regex]=a&username=some@email.com

You may need to do it a few times with a different letter/number, but as long as the tokens contain the character it will succeed.

Severity

7.7 (High)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
