{ "data_version": "4.0", "data_type": "CVE", "data_format": "MITRE", "CVE_data_meta": { "ID": "CVE-2023-29193", "ASSIGNER": "security-advisories@github.com", "STATE": "PUBLIC" }, "description": { "description_data": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "SpiceDB is an open source, Google Zanzibar-inspired, database system for creating and managing security-critical application permissions. The `spicedb serve` command contains a flag named `--grpc-preshared-key` which is used to protect the gRPC API from being accessed by unauthorized requests. The values of this flag are to be considered sensitive, secret data. The `/debug/pprof/cmdline` endpoint served by the metrics service (defaulting running on port `9090`) reveals the command-line flags provided for debugging purposes. If a password is set via the `--grpc-preshared-key` then the key is revealed by this endpoint along with any other flags provided to the SpiceDB binary. This issue has been fixed in version 1.19.1.\n\n### Impact\n\nAll deployments abiding by the recommended best practices for production usage are **NOT affected**:\n- Authzed's SpiceDB Serverless\n- Authzed's SpiceDB Dedicated\n- SpiceDB Operator\n\nUsers configuring SpiceDB via environment variables are **NOT affected**.\n\nUsers **MAY be affected** if they expose their metrics port to an untrusted network and are configuring `--grpc-preshared-key` via command-line flag.\n\n### Patches\n\nTODO\n\n### Workarounds\n\nTo workaround this issue you can do one of the following:\n\n- Configure the preshared key via an environment variable (e.g. `SPICEDB_GRPC_PRESHARED_KEY=yoursecret spicedb serve`)\n- Reconfigure the `--metrics-addr` flag to bind to a trusted network (e.g. `--metrics-addr=localhost:9090`)\n- Disable the metrics service via the flag (e.g. `--metrics-enabled=false`)\n- Adopt one of the recommended deployment models: [Authzed's managed services](https://authzed.com/pricing) or the [SpiceDB Operator](https://github.com/authzed/spicedb-operator)\n\n### References\n\n- [GitHub Security Advisory issued for SpiceDB](https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/security/advisories/GHSA-cjr9-mr35-7xh6)\n- [Go issue #22085](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/22085) for documenting the risks of exposing pprof to the internet\n- [Go issue #42834](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/42834) discusses preventing pprof registration to the default serve mux\n- [semgrep rule go.lang.security.audit.net.pprof.pprof-debug-exposure](https://semgrep.dev/r?q=go.lang.security.audit.net.pprof) checks for a variation of this issue\n\n### Credit\n\nWe'd like to thank Amit Laish, a security researcher at GE Vernova for responsibly disclosing this vulnerability.\n" } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "CWE-209: Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information", "cweId": "CWE-209" } ] } ] }, "affects": { "vendor": { "vendor_data": [ { "vendor_name": "authzed", "product": { "product_data": [ { "product_name": "spicedb", "version": { "version_data": [ { "version_affected": "=", "version_value": "< 1.19.1" } ] } } ] } } ] } }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "url": "https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/security/advisories/GHSA-cjr9-mr35-7xh6", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/security/advisories/GHSA-cjr9-mr35-7xh6" }, { "url": "https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/commit/9bbd7d76b6eaba33fe0236014f9b175d21232999", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/commit/9bbd7d76b6eaba33fe0236014f9b175d21232999" }, { "url": "https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/releases/tag/v1.19.1", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/releases/tag/v1.19.1" } ] }, "source": { "advisory": "GHSA-cjr9-mr35-7xh6", "discovery": "UNKNOWN" }, "impact": { "cvss": [ { "attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "ADJACENT_NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "NONE", "baseScore": 8.7, "baseSeverity": "HIGH", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "scope": "CHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N", "version": "3.1" } ] } }
