mwdb-core is vulnerable to Missing Authorization
70
High Risk
This Affects:
mwdb-coreTL;DR
The Remote Instances proxy API in mwdb-core forwards requests to a configured remote MWDB instance without verifying that the caller is authenticated. Requests that reach the proxy endpoints are executed against the remote instance using the identity and permissions of the configured API key. Before the fix, unauthenticated callers can relay arbitrary requests through the proxy and perform actions on the remote instance. The fix adds an authorization requirement to the remote proxy endpoints and enforces capability checks on remote upload operations.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and you have configured Remote Instances on your MWDB Core instance.
