YugabyteDB Anywhere Exposes LDAP Credentials in Cleartext in Web UI

YugabyteDB Anywhere displays LDAP bind passwords configured via gflags in cleartext within the web UI. An authenticated user with access to the configuration view could obtain LDAP credentials, potentially enabling unauthorized access to external directory services.

yugabytedb: YugabyteDB null pointer dereference

The YugabyteDB tablet server contains a flaw in its YCQL query handling that can trigger a null pointer dereference when processing certain malformed inputs. An authenticated attacker could exploit this issue to crash the YCQL tablet server, resulting in a denial of service.

yugabytedb: YugabyteDB authentication bypass

YugabyteDB Anywhere web server does not properly enforce authentication for the /metamaster/universe API endpoint. An unauthenticated attacker could exploit this flaw to obtain server networking configuration details, including private and public IP addresses and DNS records.

yugabytedb: YugabyteDB information exposure

YugabyteDB has been collecting diagnostics information from YugabyteDB servers, which may include sensitive gflag configurations. To mitigate this, we recommend upgrading the database to a version where this information is properly redacted.

yugabytedb: YugabyteDB information exposure

YugabyteDB diagnostic information was transmitted over HTTP, which could expose sensitive data during transmission

yugabytedb: YugabyteDB token exposure

Shared Access Signature token is not masked in the backup configuration response and is also exposed in the yb_backup logs

YugabyteDB v2.21.1.0 was discovered to contain a buffer overflow via the "insert into" parameter.

Remote Code Execution

External Control of Critical State Data, Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability in YugaByte, Inc. Yugabyte DB on Windows, Linux, MacOS, iOS (DevopsBase.Java:execCommand, TableManager.Java:runCommand modules) allows API Manipulation, Privilege Abuse. This vulnerability is associated with program files backup.Py. This issue affects Yugabyte DB: Lesser then 2.2.0.0

Arbitrary File Write in High Availability Backup Upload

The High Availability functionality of Yugabyte Anywhere can be abused to write arbitrary files through the backup upload endpoint by using path traversal characters. This vulnerability is associated with program files PlatformReplicationManager.Java. This issue affects YugabyteDB Anywhere: from 2.0.0.0 through 2.13.0.0

Server-Side Request Forgery

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), Improperly Controlled Modification of Dynamically-Determined Object Attributes, Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts vulnerability in YugaByte, Inc. Yugabyte Managed allows Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs, Communication Channel Manipulation, Authentication Abuse.This issue affects Yugabyte Managed: from 2.0.0.0 through 2.13.0.0

Log Injection

YugabyteDB is vulnerable to cross site scripting (XSS) via log injection. Writing invalidated user input to log files can allow an unprivileged attacker to forge log entries or inject malicious content into the logs.

Prometheus Metrics Accessible Pre-Authentication

Prometheus metrics are available without authentication. These expose detailed and sensitive information about the YugabyteDB Anywhere environment.

Set Logging Level Without Authentication

The controller responsible for setting the logging level does not include any authorization checks to ensure the user is authenticated. This can be seen by noting that it extends Controller rather than AuthenticatedController and includes no further checks. This issue affects YugabyteDB Anywhere: from 2.0.0 through 2.17.3

The software is vulnerable when using LDAP-based authentication in YCQL with Microsoft’s Active Directory

An issue was discovered in the YugabyteDB 2.6.1 when using LDAP-based authentication in YCQL with Microsoft’s Active Directory. When anonymous or unauthenticated LDAP binding is enabled, it allows bypass of authentication with an empty password.

CF CLI writes the client id and secret to config file

CF CLI version prior to v6.45.0 (bosh release version 1.16.0) writes the client id and secret to its config file when the user authenticates with --client-credentials flag. A local authenticated malicious user with access to the CF CLI config file can act as that client, who is the owner of the leaked credentials.
