OpenChoreo API Vulnerability: Cross-Project Command Execution Risk
- Severity
- HIGH
- Affected component
- openchoreo-api (npm)
- Patched version
- 1.2.3, 1.1.6
An early warning has been issued for a vulnerability in the OpenChoreo API that may allow authenticated users to execute commands and view wirelogs across different projects within the same namespace.
What happened
The OpenChoreo API reportedly authorized requests to its exec and wirelogs endpoints based on the project supplied by the caller rather than the actual project that owns the target component. This misconfiguration allowed an authenticated user with a project-scoped grant to potentially execute commands and access wirelogs of components owned by other projects in the same namespace.
This vulnerability is under investigation and has not been exploited in the wild according to current reports. The issue affects versions of the openchoreo-api prior to 1.2.3 and 1.1.6. Users are advised to review their access controls and upgrade to the patched versions as a precaution.
What to do about it
- Upgrade to openchoreo-api version 1.2.3 or 1.1.6 to mitigate the risk.
- Review and adjust access controls for project-scoped grants to ensure they are correctly configured.
- Monitor the official sources for updates on this vulnerability and any further recommended actions.
