  "summary" : "HydrAIDE Authentication Bypass Vulnerability",
  "details" : "### Summary\nThere is no authentication of any kind.\n\n\n### Details\nTLS is implemented, the tunnel between the client and server is secure, however once data is on the server, it's free to be read by any adversaries.\n\nOn the client side : https://github.com/hydraide/hydraide/blob/main/sdk/go/hydraidego/client/client.go#L221\nIt should be using a TLS Config with RootCAs and Certificates, currently RootCAs only (under NewClientTLSFromFile)\n\nAnd on the server side, there should be ClientCAs and ClientAuth filled.\n\n### PoC\nTo bypass as is, the simplest way is to take the client and modify the code as such : \n\nModified from https://github.com/hydraide/hydraide/blob/main/sdk/go/hydraidego/client/client.go#L209\n```go\n\t\t\t// hostOnly := strings.Split(server.Host, \":\")[0]\n\t\t\t// creds, certErr := credentials.NewClientTLSFromFile(server.CertFilePath, hostOnly)\n\t\t\t// if certErr != nil {\n\t\t\t// \tslog.Error(\"error while loading TLS credentials: \", \"error\", certErr, \"server\", server.Host, \"fromIsland\", server.FromIsland, \"toIsland\", server.ToIsland)\n\t\t\t// \terrorMessages = append(errorMessages, certErr)\n\t\t\t// }\n\t\t\tvar opts []grpc.DialOption\n\t\t\ttlsConfig := &tls.Config{\n\t\t\t\tInsecureSkipVerify: true,\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\tcreds := credentials.NewTLS(tlsConfig)\n\t\t\topts = append(opts, grpc.WithTransportCredentials(creds))\n```\n\n### Impact\nIt impacts everyone who think there is any kind of authentication.\n\n---\n\n## Resolution\n\nThis vulnerability has been fully fixed in server/v2.2.1 together with hydraidectl/v0.2.1.\n\nAll users are strongly advised to upgrade:\n\n1. Update to hydraidectl v0.2.1\n2. Re-initialize server instances with hydraidectl init into a new folder. This generates the required certificate files, downloads the latest binaries, and sets up the necessary environment variables.\n\nFor migration help, join the community Discord: https://discord.gg/xE2YSkzFRm or open a GitHub Discussion.\nIf anything does not work, please report it.",
