SCA: security update for org.opensearch.plugin:opensearch-security (GHSA-864v-6qj7-62qj)
high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 412461
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- OpenSearch is an open source distributed and RESTful search engine. OpenSearch uses JWTs to store role
claims obtained from the Identity Provider (IdP) when the authentication backend is SAML or OpenID
Connect. There is an issue in how those claims are processed from the JWTs where the leading and trailing
whitespace is trimmed, allowing users to potentially claim roles they are not assigned to if any role
matches the whitespace-stripped version of the roles they are a member of. This issue is only present for
authenticated users, and it requires either the existence of roles that match, not considering
leading/trailing whitespace, or the ability for users to create said matching roles. In addition, the
Identity Provider must allow leading and trailing spaces in role names. OpenSearch 1.0.0-1.3.7 and
2.0.0-2.4.1 are affected. Users are advised to upgrade to OpenSearch 1.3.8 or 2.5.0. There are no known
workarounds for this issue. (CVE-2023-23612)
