No affected components available
Summary
A security vulnerability exists in oneuptime's local storage handling, where a regular user can escalate privileges by modifying the is_master_admin key to true. This allows unauthorized access to administrative functionalities.
Details
The vulnerability lies in the improper validation of client-side stored data within the web application. Specifically, the is_master_admin key, stored in the local storage of the browser, can be manipulated by an attacker. By changing this key from false to true, the application grants administrative privileges to the user, without proper server-side validation.
POC
(I am using Firefox Developer to demonstrate this vulnerability)
Log in as a normal user. Open developer tools (hit F12), click Storage, then Local Storage. Modify the is_master_admin key from false to true.
Impact
This vulnerability represents a high security risk as it allows any authenticated user to gain administrative privileges through client-side manipulation. Most of the admin previlages were disabled except the user list. Where an attacker could see all the list of users who signed up to OneUptome.
Patch
This has been patched in 7.0.1815
The vulnerability can be exploited over the network without needing physical access. It is easy for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker needs basic access or low-level privileges. No user interaction is needed for the attacker to exploit this vulnerability. The impact is confined to the system where the vulnerability exists. There is a high impact on the confidentiality of the information. There is a high impact on the integrity of the data. There is a low impact on the availability of the system.
Exploitation activity has been observed. Apply available patches or mitigations urgently.
The exploit probability is very low. The vulnerability is unlikely to be exploited in the next 30 days.
