Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in SonarSource SonarQube API

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 14, 2022 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Mar 4, 2024

Package

maven org.sonarsource.sonarqube:sonar-plugin-api (Maven)

Affected versions

< 7.5

Patched versions

7.5

Description

A vulnerability in the API of SonarSource SonarQube before 7.5 could allow an authenticated user to discover sensitive information such as valid user-account logins in the web application. The vulnerability occurs because of improperly configured access controls that cause the API to return the externalIdentity field to non-administrator users. The attacker could use this information in subsequent attacks against the system.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
