GHSA-HQ76-6GH2-5G4Q
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-10-27 16:20 – Updated: 2025-12-01 16:06Summary
A malicious host may provide a crafted LUKS2 volume to a confidential computing guest that is using the OpenCryptDevice feature. The guest will open the volume and write secret data using a volume key known to the attacker. The attacker can also pre-load data on the device, which could potentially compromise guest execution.
LUKS2 volume metadata is not authenticated and supports null key-encryption algorithms, allowing an attacker to create a volume such that the volume: - Opens (cryptsetup open) without error using any passphrase or token - Records all writes in plaintext (or ciphertext with an attacker-known key) - Contains arbitrary data chosen by the attacker
Details
The Constellation CVM image uses LUKS2-encrypted volumes for persistent storage. When opening an encrypted storage device, the CVM uses the libcryptsetup function crypt_activate_by_passhrase. If the VM is successful in opening the partition with the disk encryption key, it treats the volume as confidential. However, due to the unsafe handling of null keyslot algorithms in the cryptsetup 2.8.1, it is possible that the opened volume is not encrypted at all.
Cryptsetup prior to version 2.8.1 does not report an error when processing LUKS2-formatted disks that use the cipher_null-ecb algorithm in the keyslot encryption field.
Impact
A LUKS2 disk encrypted with a master key, which is in turn encrypted with user passwords stored in some number of keyslots. By creating a malicious disk which sets the keyslot encryption algorithm to ”crypto_null-ecb”, an attacker can construct a disk such that keyslot decryption does not depend in any way on the enclave-held secret data. When a confidential guest opens such a device using cryptsetup open, the mapped disk is created without error, and any further writes to the disk are encrypted using an attacker-controlled key.
Patches
To protect against this and similar attacks, Constellation now performs detached reading of LUKS headers. The header is copied into the encrypted memory of the CVM and then verified. The verified header is then used to open the encrypted LUKS device in detached header mode. This was implemented in https://github.com/edgelesssys/constellation/pull/3927 and release as part of Constellation v2.24.0.

Mitigation
When storing data in the cloud (e.g., S3 buckets, Azure blobs, Google Cloud Storage, etc.), use the provider's controls to disable public access.
CAPEC-150: Collect Data from Common Resource Locations
An adversary exploits well-known locations for resources for the purposes of undermining the security of the target. In many, if not most systems, files and resources are organized in a default tree structure. This can be useful for adversaries because they often know where to look for resources or files that are necessary for attacks. Even when the precise location of a targeted resource may not be known, naming conventions may indicate a small area of the target machine's file tree where the resources are typically located. For example, configuration files are normally stored in the /etc director on Unix systems. Adversaries can take advantage of this to commit other types of attacks.
CAPEC-639: Probe System Files
An adversary obtains unauthorized information due to improperly protected files. If an application stores sensitive information in a file that is not protected by proper access control, then an adversary can access the file and search for sensitive information.
