SCA: security update for org.eclipse.hawkbit:hawkbit-ddi-resource (GHSA-92r3-p8c2-3fpx)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 478616

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- In Eclipse hawkBit versions 1.0.3 and prior, a privilege escalation vulnerability (CWE-284 / CWE-862) has
been identified in the Direct Device Integration (DDI) Controller. This vulnerability allows an
authenticated device to escalate its permissions and bypass the strict boundaries of its assigned updates.
Under normal operation, a device should be restricted strictly to the specific firmware artifacts
explicitly assigned to it. However, this flaw enables any authenticated device to bypass this restriction
and download any firmware artifact within the same tenant. This is not an authentication bypass; the
requesting device must possess valid credentials for its respective tenant. Instead, the issue stems from
a flaw in object-level authorization validation. A related, lower-severity helper issue exists in the
listing software modules artifacts metadata endpoint. This endpoint does not enforce assignment checks,
enabling an authenticated device to list and enumerate available firmware artifacts, which can facilitate
targeted exfiltration using the main download authorization bypass. (CVE-2026-16454)

Solution

Update the org.eclipse.hawkbit:hawkbit-ddi-resource library and its related packages to version 1.0.4 or later.
