How to Fix CVE-2022-31683

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Github.com/concourse/concourse dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

github.com/concourse/concourse fixed: 6.7.9
Upgrade github.com/concourse/concourse to 6.7.9
github.com/concourse/concourse fixed: 7.8.3
Upgrade github.com/concourse/concourse to 7.8.3
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:

inspect dependencies for github.com/concourse/concourse

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2022-31683, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/concourse/concourse:

inspect dependencies for github.com/concourse/concourse

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Github.com/concourse/concourse in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 6.7.9), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-639: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key, where the system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data. In Github.com/concourse/concourse, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact For some Post/Put Concourse endpoint containing `:team_name` in the URL, a Concourse user can send a request with body including `:team_name=team2` to bypass team scope check to gain access to certain resources belong to any other team. The user only needs a valid user session and belongs to team2. Exploitable endpoints: ``` {Path: "/api/v1/teams/:team_name/pipelines/:pipeline_name/jobs/:job_name/builds/:build_name", Method: "POST", Name: RerunJobBuild}, {Path: "/api/v1/teams/:team_name/pipelines/:pipeline_name/jobs/:job_name/pause", Method: "PUT", Name: PauseJob}, {Path: "/api/v1/teams/:team_name/pipelines/:pipeline_name/jobs/:job_name/unpause", Method: "PUT", Name: UnpauseJob}, {Path: "/api/v1/teams/:team_name/pipelines/:pipeline_name/jobs/:job_name/schedule", Method: "PUT", Name: ScheduleJob}, {Path: "/api/v1/teams/:team_name/pipelines/:pipeline_name/pause", Method: "PUT", Name: PausePipeline}, {Path: "/api/v1/teams/:team_name/pipelines/:pipeline_name/unpause", Method: "PUT", Name: UnpausePipeline}, {Path: "/api/v1/teams/:team_name/pipelines/:pipeline_name/expose", Method: "PUT", Name: ExposePipeline}, {Path: "/api/v1/teams/:team_name/pipelines/:pipeline_name/hide", Method: "PUT", Name: HidePipeline}, {Path: "/api/v1/teams/:team_name/pipelines/:pipeline_name/rename", Method: "PUT", Name: RenamePipeline}, {Path: "/api/v1/teams/:team_name/pipelines/:pipeline_name/archive", Method: "PUT", Name: ArchivePipeline}, {Path: "/api/v1/teams/:team_name/pipelines/:pipeline_name/resources/:resource_name/versions/:resource_config_version_id/enable", Method: "PUT", Name: EnableResourceVersion}, {Path: "/api/v1/teams/:team_name/pipelines/:pipeline_name/resources/:resource_name/versions/:resource_config_version_id/disable", Method: "PUT", Name: DisableResourceVersion}, {Path: "/api/v1/teams/:team_name/pipelines/:pipeline_name/resources/:resource_name/versions/:resource_config_version_id/pin", Method: "PUT", Name: PinResourceVersion}, {Path: "/api/v1/teams/:team_name/pipelines/:pipeline_name/resources/:resource_name/unpin", Method: "PUT", Name: UnpinResource}, {Path: "/api/v1/teams/:team_name/artifacts", Method: "POST", Name: CreateArtifact}, ``` ### Steps to reproduce 1. Set up a Concourse deployment with team 1 (with pipeline 1) and team 2. User is in team 2 but not team 1. 2. Login as user to team 2. ``` fly -t ci login -n team2 -u user -p password ``` 3. Try pausing pipeline 1 in team 1 using fly. Verify the command output is `pipeline 'pipeline1' not found`. ``` fly -t ci pause-pipeline -p pipeline1 ``` 4. Send a customized request through `fly curl` command intend to pause pipeline 1 again. ``` fly -t ci curl /api/v1/teams/team1/pipelines/pipeline1/pause -- -X PUT -d ":team_name=team2" -H "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" ``` 5. pipeline 1 in team 1 will be paused. In step 4, the parameter pollution would allow an user from any team to pause a pipeline that belongs to other team. ### Patches Concourse [v6.7.9](https://github.com/concourse/concourse/releases/tag/v6.7.9) and [v7.8.3](https://github.com/concourse/concourse/releases/tag/v7.8.3) were both released with a fix on October 12, 2022. Instead of using [`FormValue`](https://pkg.go.dev/net/http#Request.FormValue) to parse team_name in the request, where allows body parameters to take precedence over URL query string values, both patch versions are now using `URL.Query().Get()` over multiple scope handlers to prevent the parameter pollution. ### Workarounds No known workarounds for existing versions. ### References * https://github.com/concourse/concourse/pull/8566: PR with the fix ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, you may reach us privately at [security@concourse-ci.org](mailto:security@concourse-ci.org).
