Ckan

CKAN is an open-source DMS (data management system) for powering data hubs and data portals. Prior to 2.10.10 and 2.11.5, a vulnerability in datastore_search_sql allowed attackers to bypass authorization in order to gain access to private resources and PostgreSQL system information This vulnerability is fixed in 2.10.10 and 2.11.5.

CKAN is an open-source DMS (data management system) for powering data hubs and data portals. Prior to 2.10.10 and 2.11.5, Access to the views via tokens or unauthenticated requests marked the endpoint as not requiring CSRF protection. The marking was a member variable in flask-wtf.csrf.CSRFProtect(), which was stored as a module level variable in the flask_app middleware. This API was never intended for request level changes, it is primarily a decorator for static configuration. An unauthenticated request could hit a protected endpoint, exempting it from CSRF protection for the life of the particular server process. (e.g. one worker of uwsgi). This vulnerability is fixed in 2.10.10 and 2.11.5.

CKAN is an open-source DMS (data management system) for powering data hubs and data portals. Prior to 2.10.10 and 2.11.5, the configured SMTP server may be spoofed with any certificate (e.g. self-signed), leaving credentials and all emails sent open to MITM attacks. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.10.10 and 2.11.5.

CKAN is an open-source data management system for powering data hubs and data portals. There are a number of CKAN plugins, including XLoader, DataPusher, Resource proxy and ckanext-archiver, that work by downloading the contents of local or remote files in order to perform some actions with their contents (e.g. pushing to the DataStore, streaming contents or saving a local copy). All of them use the resource URL, and there are currently no checks to limit what URLs can be requested. This means that a malicious (or unaware) user can create a resource with a URL pointing to a place where they should not have access in order for one of the previous tools to retrieve it (known as a Server Side Request Forgery). Users wanting to protect against these kinds of attacks can use one or a combination of the following approaches: (1) Use a separate HTTP proxy like Squid that can be used to allow / disallow IPs, domains etc as needed, and make CKAN extensions aware of this setting via the ckan.download_proxy config option. (2) Implement custom firewall rules to prevent access to restricted resources. (3) Use custom validators on the resource url field to block/allow certain domains or IPs. All latest versions of the plugins listed above support the ckan.download_proxy settings. Support for this setting in the Resource Proxy plugin was included in CKAN 2.10.5 and 2.11.0.
