CVE-2021-21298 (GCVE-0-2021-21298)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2021-02-26 16:25 – Updated: 2024-08-03 18:09
VLAI?
Summary
Node-Red is a low-code programming for event-driven applications built using nodejs. Node-RED 1.2.7 and earlier has a vulnerability which allows arbitrary path traversal via the Projects API. If the Projects feature is enabled, a user with `projects.read` permission is able to access any file via the Projects API. The issue has been patched in Node-RED 1.2.8. The vulnerability applies only to the Projects feature which is not enabled by default in Node-RED. The primary workaround is not give untrusted users read access to the Node-RED editor.
Severity ?

The primary workaround is not give untrusted users read access to the Node-RED editor.\"},{\"lang\":\"es\",\"value\":\"Node-Red es una programaci\u00f3n de low-code para aplicaciones basadas en eventos dise\u00f1adas usando nodejs.\u0026#xa0;Node-RED versiones 1.2.7 y anteriores, presentan una vulnerabilidad que permite un salto de ruta arbitrario por medio de la API Projects.\u0026#xa0;Si la funcionalidad Proyects est\u00e1 habilitada, un usuario con el permiso \\\"projects.read\\\" puede acceder a cualquier archivo por medio de la API Proyects.\u0026#xa0;El problema ha sido parcheado en Node-RED versi\u00f3n 1.2.8.\u0026#xa0;La vulnerabilidad se aplica solo a la funcionalidad Proyects que no est\u00e1 habilitada por defecto en Node-RED.\u0026#xa0;La soluci\u00f3n alternativa principal es no dar acceso de lectura al editor de Node-RED para usuarios que no son confiables\"}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N\",\"baseScore\":3.5,\"baseSeverity\":\"LOW\",\"attackVector\":\"NETWORK\",\"attackComplexity\":\"HIGH\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"LOW\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"CHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"LOW\",\"integrityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"NONE\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":1.8,\"impactScore\":1.4},{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N\",\"baseScore\":6.5,\"baseSeverity\":\"MEDIUM\",\"attackVector\":\"NETWORK\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"LOW\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"integrityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"NONE\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":2.8,\"impactScore\":3.6}],\"cvssMetricV2\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"2.0\",\"vectorString\":\"AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:N/A:N\",\"baseScore\":3.5,\"accessVector\":\"NETWORK\",\"accessComplexity\":\"MEDIUM\",\"authentication\":\"SINGLE\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"PARTIAL\",\"integrityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"NONE\"},\"baseSeverity\":\"LOW\",\"exploitabilityScore\":6.8,\"impactScore\":2.9,\"acInsufInfo\":false,\"obtainAllPrivilege\":false,\"obtainUserPrivilege\":false,\"obtainOtherPrivilege\":false,\"userInteractionRequired\":false}]},\"weaknesses\":[{\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-22\"}]}],\"configurations\":[{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:nodered:node-red:*:*:*:*:*:node.js:*:*\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"1.2.8\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"FD380E45-4954-4427-90D5-66896B983B30\"}]}]}],\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://github.com/node-red/node-red/commit/74db3e17d075f23d9c95d7871586cf461524c456\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/node-red/node-red/releases/tag/1.2.8\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"tags\":[\"Release Notes\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/node-red/node-red/security/advisories/GHSA-m33v-338h-4v9f\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://www.npmjs.com/package/%40node-red/runtime\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\"},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/node-red/node-red/commit/74db3e17d075f23d9c95d7871586cf461524c456\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/node-red/node-red/releases/tag/1.2.8\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Release Notes\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/node-red/node-red/security/advisories/GHSA-m33v-338h-4v9f\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://www.npmjs.com/package/%40node-red/runtime\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\"}]}}"
