GHSA-G9CV-V3V4-3H8R
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-07-12 12:31 – Updated: 2023-07-12 17:30Incorrect Authorization vulnerability in Apache Software Foundation Apache Pulsar.
This issue affects Apache Pulsar: before 2.10.4, and 2.11.0.
When a client connects to the Pulsar Function Worker via the Pulsar Proxy where the Pulsar Proxy uses mTLS authentication to authenticate with the Pulsar Function Worker, the Pulsar Function Worker incorrectly performs authorization by using the Proxy's role for authorization instead of the client's role, which can lead to privilege escalation, especially if the proxy is configured with a superuser role.
The recommended mitigation for impacted users is to upgrade the Pulsar Function Worker to a patched version.
2.10 Pulsar Function Worker users should upgrade to at least 2.10.4. 2.11 Pulsar Function Worker users should upgrade to at least 2.11.1. 3.0 Pulsar Function Worker users are unaffected. Any users running the Pulsar Function Worker for 2.9.* and earlier should upgrade to one of the above patched versions.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-19 21:32 – Updated: 2026-06-05 16:37In the AWS Secrets Manager and SSM Parameter Store secrets backends of apache-airflow-providers-amazon prior to 9.28.0, the team-scoping logic could resolve a conn_id containing a / (e.g. "my_team/conn") to the same path as another team's team-scoped secret when the caller had no team context. A privileged caller without team context could therefore retrieve another team's secret by crafting a colliding conn_id. Fixed in 9.28.0 by switching the team-scope separator to -- and rejecting team-shaped conn_ids when team context is absent. Affects the experimental multi-tenant teams feature only. Users are recommended to upgrade to apache-airflow-providers-amazon 9.28.0, which fixes the issue.

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.
No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
