Title
Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinKNOW Insufficiently Protected Credentials
Summary
Oxford Nanopore Technologies' MinKNOW software at or prior to version 24.11 stores authentication tokens in a file located in the system's temporary directory (/tmp) on the host machine. This directory is typically world-readable, allowing any local user or application to access the token. If the token is leaked (e.g., via malware infection or other local exploit), and remote access is enabled, it can be used to establish unauthorized remote connections to the sequencer. Remote access must be enabled for remote exploitation to succeed. This may occur either because the user has enabled remote access for legitimate operational reasons or because malware with elevated privileges (e.g., sudo access) enables it without user consent. This vulnerability can be chained with remote access capabilities to generate a developer token from a remote device. Developer tokens can be created with arbitrary expiration dates, enabling persistent access to the sequencer and bypassing standard authentication mechanisms.

Este directorio es t\u00edpicamente legible por todos, permitiendo que cualquier usuario o aplicaci\u00f3n local acceda al token. Si el token se filtra (por ejemplo, a trav\u00e9s de una infecci\u00f3n de malware u otro exploit local), y el acceso remoto est\u00e1 habilitado, puede usarse para establecer conexiones remotas no autorizadas al secuenciador. El acceso remoto debe estar habilitado para que la explotaci\u00f3n remota tenga \u00e9xito. Esto puede ocurrir bien porque el usuario ha habilitado el acceso remoto por razones operativas leg\u00edtimas o porque un malware con privilegios elevados (por ejemplo, acceso sudo) lo habilita sin el consentimiento del usuario. Esta vulnerabilidad puede encadenarse con las capacidades de acceso remoto para generar un token de desarrollador desde un dispositivo remoto. Los tokens de desarrollador pueden crearse con fechas de caducidad arbitrarias, permitiendo el acceso persistente al secuenciador y eludiendo los mecanismos de autenticaci\u00f3n est\u00e1ndar."

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.
Experimental. This forecast is provided for visualization only and may change without notice. Do not use it for operational decisions.
Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

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.
