vantage6 collaboration admins can extend their influence by expanding the collaboration

Low severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 22, 2024 in vantage6/vantage6 • Updated May 23, 2024

Package

pip vantage6 (pip)

Affected versions

< 4.5.0rc3

Patched versions

4.5.0rc3

Description

Impact

Collaboration administrators can add extra organizations to their collaboration. When doing that, they extend their influence: for instance, for organizations that they include, they can then create new users for which they know the passwords, and use that to read task results of other collaborations that that organization is involved in.

Only relatively trusted users - with access to manage a collaboration - are able to do this, which reduces the impact.

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.
