GHSA-389X-RGXR-8M33
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-30 18:33 – Updated: 2026-06-30 18:33Summary
oban_web 2.12.0 through the current unpatched release exposes a save-job LiveView event handler that performs no authorization check, allowing any authenticated user (including those with :read_only access) to overwrite a queued job's worker field with any other Oban.Worker module present in the application. On the job's next execution attempt, Oban dispatches perform/1 on the attacker-chosen module instead of the intended one.
Details
In lib/oban/web/live/jobs/detail_component.ex, the sibling event handlers for destructive actions all gate their side effects via can?/2 (cancel, delete, retry). The handle_event("save-job", params, socket) clause added in 2.12.0 has no equivalent guard. It builds a changes map from the client-supplied params (including worker, queue, priority, max_attempts, scheduled_at, tags, args) and unconditionally dispatches {:update_job, job, changes} to the parent LiveView, which writes the changes to the database.
The disabled attribute on the edit fieldset and button in the rendered HTML is advisory only. The Phoenix LiveView channel dispatches any phx-event pushed over the authenticated WebSocket regardless of what the DOM looks like, so the attacker pushes the event directly over the WebSocket without touching the UI.
The attacker is constrained to substituting an existing Oban.Worker module already loaded in the application (no code injection). The impact depends on what workers are available in the target application.
PoC
- Obtain an authenticated session with at minimum
:read_onlyaccess to the Oban.Web dashboard. - Open any job's detail panel to obtain its job ID.
- Push a forged
save-jobevent over the LiveView WebSocket with"worker"set to the desired target module name. - The server accepts the payload and updates the job row. On its next execution attempt, Oban invokes
perform/1on the attacker-chosen module.
Impact
CVSS 4.0 score 5.3 (Medium). Any application running oban_web >= 2.12.0 that exposes the dashboard to users with less than full job-management privileges is affected. The only precondition is an authenticated session with :read_only access or higher.

}
Mitigation
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
CAPEC-665: Exploitation of Thunderbolt Protection Flaws
An adversary leverages a firmware weakness within the Thunderbolt protocol, on a computing device to manipulate Thunderbolt controller firmware in order to exploit vulnerabilities in the implementation of authorization and verification schemes within Thunderbolt protection mechanisms. Upon gaining physical access to a target device, the adversary conducts high-level firmware manipulation of the victim Thunderbolt controller SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) flash, through the use of a SPI Programing device and an external Thunderbolt device, typically as the target device is booting up. If successful, this allows the adversary to modify memory, subvert authentication mechanisms, spoof identities and content, and extract data and memory from the target device. Currently 7 major vulnerabilities exist within Thunderbolt protocol with 9 attack vectors as noted in the Execution Flow.
