How the CVE Works:
The vulnerability in Apache StreamPipes arises from improper privilege management within its REST interface. Registered users can exploit this flaw to access resources they are not authorized to view, provided they know the resource ID. This occurs due to insufficient validation of user permissions when accessing specific endpoints. The issue affects versions through 0.95.1, allowing unauthorized data exposure. The flaw is mitigated in version 0.97.0, which enforces proper privilege checks.
DailyCVE Form:
Platform: Apache StreamPipes
Version: < 0.97.0
Vulnerability: Improper Privilege Management
Severity: Moderate
Date: Mar 3, 2025
What Undercode Say:
Exploitation:
- Exploit Command: Use a crafted HTTP request to access unauthorized resources:
curl -X GET http://<target>/api/v1/resources/<resource_id> -H "Authorization: Bearer <user_token>"
- Exploit URL: Replace `
` with the target system and ` ` with the known resource ID.
Protection:
1. Upgrade Command: Update to the patched version:
pip install --upgrade apache-streampipes==0.97.0
2. Mitigation Steps:
- Validate user permissions for every REST endpoint.
- Implement role-based access control (RBAC) for sensitive resources.
- Use logging to monitor unauthorized access attempts.
Analytics:
1. Impact: Unauthorized access to sensitive data.
- Affected Systems: Apache StreamPipes installations running versions below 0.97.0.
- Detection: Monitor for unusual access patterns to REST endpoints.
