Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor, where the product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. In Spree, 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

Spree 0.11.x before 0.11.2 and 0.30.x before 0.30.0 exchanges data using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) without a mechanism for validating requests, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via vectors involving (1) `admin/products.json`, (2) `admin/users.json`, or (3) `admin/overview/get_report_data`, related to a "JSON hijacking" issue.
