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 Bio basespace sdk, 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

The put_call function in the API client (`api/api_client.rb`) in the BaseSpace Ruby SDK (aka bio-basespace-sdk) gem 0.1.7 for Ruby uses the `API_KEY` on the command line, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by listing the processes.
