Title
Dependency-Track vulnerable to local file inclusion via custom notification templates
Summary
Dependency-Track is a component analysis platform that allows organizations to identify and reduce risk in the software supply chain. Dependency-Track allows users with the `SYSTEM_CONFIGURATION` permission to customize notification templates. Templates are evaluated using the Pebble template engine. Pebble supports an `include` tag, which allows template authors to include the content of arbitrary files upon evaluation. Prior to version 4.12.6, users of Dependency-Track with the `SYSTEM_CONFIGURATION` permission can abuse the `include` tag by crafting notification templates that `include` sensitive local files, such as `/etc/passwd` or `/proc/1/environ`. By configuring such a template for a notification rule (aka "Alert"), and having it send notifications to a destination controlled by the actor, sensitive information may be leaked. The issue has been fixed in Dependency-Track 4.12.6. In fixed versions, the `include` tag can no longer be used. Usage of the tag will cause template evaluation to fail. As a workaround, avoid assigning the `SYSTEM_CONFIGURATION` permission to untrusted users. The `SYSTEM_CONFIGURATION` permission per default is only granted to members of the `Administrators` team. Assigning this permission to non-administrative users or teams is a security risk in itself, and highly discouraged.

Las plantillas se eval\u00faan utilizando el motor de plantillas Pebble.

Antes de la versi\u00f3n 4.12.6, los usuarios de Dependency-Track con el permiso `SYSTEM_CONFIGURATION` pod\u00edan abusar de la etiqueta `include` creando plantillas de notificaci\u00f3n que `incluyen` archivos locales confidenciales, como `/etc/passwd` o `/proc/1/environ`. Al configurar una plantilla de este tipo para una regla de notificaci\u00f3n (tambi\u00e9n conocida como \"Alerta\") y hacer que env\u00ede notificaciones a un destino controlado por el actor, se puede filtrar informaci\u00f3n confidencial. El problema se ha solucionado en Dependency-Track 4.12.6. En las versiones corregidas, la etiqueta `include` ya no se puede utilizar. El uso de la etiqueta provocar\u00e1 un error en la evaluaci\u00f3n de la plantilla. Como workaround, evite asignar el permiso `SYSTEM_CONFIGURATION` a usuarios que no sean de confianza. El permiso `SYSTEM_CONFIGURATION` de forma predeterminada solo se otorga a los miembros del equipo `Administradores`. Asignar este permiso a usuarios o equipos que no sean administradores es un riesgo de seguridad en s\u00ed mismo y se desaconseja enf\u00e1ticamente."
