Summary
Authelia vulnerable to an authentication bypassed with malformed request URI on nginx
Details

Impact

This affects uses who are using nginx ngx_http_auth_request_module with Authelia, it allows a malicious individual who crafts a malformed HTTP request to bypass the authentication mechanism. It additionally could theoretically affect other proxy servers, but all of the ones we officially support except nginx do not allow malformed URI paths.

Patches

The problem is rectified entirely in v4.29.3. As this patch is relatively straightforward we can back port this to any version upon request. Alternatively we are supplying a git patch to 4.25.1 which should be relatively straightforward to apply to any version, the git patches for specific versions can be found below.

Patch for 4.25.1:

From ca22f3d2c44ca7bef043ffbeeb06d6659c1d550f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: James Elliott <james-d-elliott@users.noreply.github.com>
Date: Wed, 19 May 2021 12:10:13 +1000
Subject: [PATCH] fix(handlers): verify returns 200 on malformed request

This is a git patch for commit at tag v4.25.1 to address a potential method to bypass authentication in proxies that forward malformed information to Authelia in the forward auth process. Instead of returning a 200 this ensures that Authelia returns a 401 when this occurs.

Workarounds

The most relevant workaround is upgrading. If you need assistance with an upgrade please contact us on Matrix or Discord. Please just let us know you're needing help upgrading to above 4.29.2.

You can add an block which fails requests that contains a malformed URI in the internal location block. We have crafted one that should work in most instances, it basically checks no chars that are required to be URL-encoded for either the path or the query are in the URI. Basically this regex checks that the characters between the square braces are the only characters in the $request_uri header, if they exist, it returns a HTTP 401 status code. The characters in the regex match are tested to not cause a parsing error that would result in a failure, however they are not exhaustive since query strings seem to not always conform to the RFC.

authelia.conf:

location /authelia {
    internal;
    # **IMPORTANT**
    # This block rejects requests with a 401 which contain characters that are unable to be parsed.
    # It is necessary for security prior to v4.29.3 due to the fact we returned an invalid code in the event of a parser error.
    # You may comment this section if you're using Authelia v4.29.3 or above. We strongly recommend upgrading.
    # RFC3986: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986
    # Commentary on RFC regarding Query Strings: https://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/201008/what_characters_are_allowed_unencoded_in_query_strings/
    if ($request_uri ~ [^a-zA-Z0-9_+-=\!@$%&*?~.:#'\;\(\)\[\]]) {
        return 401;
    }

    # Include the remainder of the block here.

### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open a [Discussion](https://github.com/authelia/authelia/discussions) * Email us at [security@authelia.com](mailto:security@authelia.com) ### Edit / Adjustment This CVE has been edited adjusting the score to more accurately reflect the guidance in the [official CVSS 3.1 guide](https://www.first.org/cvss/specification-document). Due to misunderstandings about the CVSS indicators this was incorrectly assigned but this has been corrected. Under close evaluation the score we originally assigned to this CVE is inappropriate in two clearly identifiable criteria: - Complexity (Low -> High): This attack requires the administrator be using NGINX's auth_request module. This means the attack cannot be exploited at will but rather requires a pre-condition separate to the vulnerable system outside of the attackers control (a vulnerable version of NGINX - at the time of this writing NGINX's security team has *refused* to fix the clear bug on their end but that's effectively irrelevant since we operate with more than just a NGINX proxy and no other proxy has this vulnerability), and requires the attacker have gathered knowledge about the system for this likely to be exploited. - Availability (High -> None): This attack does not alter availability directly.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2021-10-05 20:24 – Updated: 2025-10-22 19:08
VLAI
Summary
Authentication bypass for viewing and deletions of snapshots
Details

Today we are releasing Grafana 7.5.11, and 8.1.6. These patch releases include an important security fix for an issue that affects all Grafana versions from 2.0.1.

Grafana Cloud instances have already been patched and an audit did not find any usage of this attack vector. Grafana Enterprise customers were provided with updated binaries under embargo.

8.1.5 contained a single fix for bar chart panels. We believe that users can expedite deployment by moving from 8.1.4 to 8.1.6 directly.

CVE-2021-39226 Snapshot authentication bypass

Summary

CVSS Score: 9.8 Critical CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

We received a security report to security@grafana.com on 2021-09-15 about a vulnerability in Grafana regarding the snapshot feature. It was later identified as affecting Grafana versions from 2.0.1 to 8.1.6. CVE-2021-39226 has been assigned to this vulnerability.

Impact

Unauthenticated and authenticated users are able to view the snapshot with the lowest database key by accessing the literal paths:

  • /dashboard/snapshot/:key, or
  • /api/snapshots/:key

If the snapshot "public_mode" configuration setting is set to true (vs default of false), unauthenticated users are able to delete the snapshot with the lowest database key by accessing the literal path:

  • /api/snapshots-delete/:deleteKey

Regardless of the snapshot "public_mode" setting, authenticated users are able to delete the snapshot with the lowest database key by accessing the literal paths:

  • /api/snapshots/:key, or
  • /api/snapshots-delete/:deleteKey

The combination of deletion and viewing enables a complete walk through all snapshot data while resulting in complete snapshot data loss.

Attack audit

While we can not guarantee that the below will identify all attacks, if you do find something with the below, you should consider doing a full assessment.

Through reverse proxy/load balancer logs

To determine if your Grafana installation has been exploited for this vulnerability, search through your reverse proxy/load balancer access logs for instances where the path is /dashboard/snapshot/:key, /api/snapshots/:key or /api/snapshots-delete/:deleteKey, and the response status code was 200 (OK). For example, if you’re using the Kubernetes ingress-nginx controller and sending logs to Loki, use a LogQL query like {job="nginx-ingress-controller"} |= "\"status\": 200" |= "\"uri\": \"/api/snapshots/:key\"".

Through the Grafana Enterprise audit feature

If you enabled “Log web requests” in your configuration with router_logging = true, look for "requestUri":"/api/snapshots-delete/”,“requestUri":"/api/snapshots/:key", or "type":"snapshot" in combination with "action":"delete".

Patched versions

Release 8.1.6:

Release 7.5.11:

Solutions and mitigations

Download and install the appropriate patch for your version of Grafana.

Grafana Cloud instances have already been patched, and Grafana Enterprise customers were provided with updated binaries under embargo.

Workaround

If for some reason you cannot upgrade:

You can use a reverse proxy or similar to block access to the literal paths * /api/snapshots/:key * /api/snapshots-delete/:deleteKey * /dashboard/snapshot/:key * /api/snapshots/:key

They have no normal function and can be disabled without side effects.

Timeline and postmortem

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks

Use an authentication framework or library such as the OWASP ESAPI Authentication feature.

CAPEC-114: Authentication Abuse

An attacker obtains unauthorized access to an application, service or device either through knowledge of the inherent weaknesses of an authentication mechanism, or by exploiting a flaw in the authentication scheme's implementation. In such an attack an authentication mechanism is functioning but a carefully controlled sequence of events causes the mechanism to grant access to the attacker.

CAPEC-115: Authentication Bypass

An attacker gains access to application, service, or device with the privileges of an authorized or privileged user by evading or circumventing an authentication mechanism. The attacker is therefore able to access protected data without authentication ever having taken place.

CAPEC-151: Identity Spoofing

Identity Spoofing refers to the action of assuming (i.e., taking on) the identity of some other entity (human or non-human) and then using that identity to accomplish a goal. An adversary may craft messages that appear to come from a different principle or use stolen / spoofed authentication credentials.

CAPEC-194: Fake the Source of Data

An adversary takes advantage of improper authentication to provide data or services under a falsified identity. The purpose of using the falsified identity may be to prevent traceability of the provided data or to assume the rights granted to another individual. One of the simplest forms of this attack would be the creation of an email message with a modified "From" field in order to appear that the message was sent from someone other than the actual sender. The root of the attack (in this case the email system) fails to properly authenticate the source and this results in the reader incorrectly performing the instructed action. Results of the attack vary depending on the details of the attack, but common results include privilege escalation, obfuscation of other attacks, and data corruption/manipulation.

CAPEC-22: Exploiting Trust in Client

An attack of this type exploits vulnerabilities in client/server communication channel authentication and data integrity. It leverages the implicit trust a server places in the client, or more importantly, that which the server believes is the client. An attacker executes this type of attack by communicating directly with the server where the server believes it is communicating only with a valid client. There are numerous variations of this type of attack.

CAPEC-57: Utilizing REST's Trust in the System Resource to Obtain Sensitive Data

This attack utilizes a REST(REpresentational State Transfer)-style applications' trust in the system resources and environment to obtain sensitive data once SSL is terminated.

CAPEC-593: Session Hijacking

This type of attack involves an adversary that exploits weaknesses in an application's use of sessions in performing authentication. The adversary is able to steal or manipulate an active session and use it to gain unathorized access to the application.

CAPEC-633: Token Impersonation

An adversary exploits a weakness in authentication to create an access token (or equivalent) that impersonates a different entity, and then associates a process/thread to that that impersonated token. This action causes a downstream user to make a decision or take action that is based on the assumed identity, and not the response that blocks the adversary.

CAPEC-650: Upload a Web Shell to a Web Server

By exploiting insufficient permissions, it is possible to upload a web shell to a web server in such a way that it can be executed remotely. This shell can have various capabilities, thereby acting as a "gateway" to the underlying web server. The shell might execute at the higher permission level of the web server, providing the ability the execute malicious code at elevated levels.

CAPEC-94: Adversary in the Middle (AiTM)

An adversary targets the communication between two components (typically client and server), in order to alter or obtain data from transactions. A general approach entails the adversary placing themself within the communication channel between the two components.
