VMware Harbor 1.7.x < 1.7.6, 1.8.x < 1.8.3 (VMSA-2019-0015)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 130004

Language:

Synopsis

A cloud native registry installed on the remote host is affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability.

Description

The version of VMware Harbor installed on the remote host is 1.7.x prior to 1.7.6 or 1.8.x prior to 1.8.3. It is, therefore, affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability in the POST /api/users API endpoint due to insufficient checks of user privileges. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via sending a POST to the /api/users API endpoint, to gain administrator access to the system.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update to VMware Harbor version 1.7.6, 1.8.3, or later.
