Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-862: Missing Authorization, where the product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action. In Github.com/treeverse/lakefs, 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 Missing authentication in the `/api/v1/usage-report/summary` endpoint allows anyone to retrieve aggregate API usage counts. While no sensitive data is disclosed, the endpoint may reveal information about service activity or uptime. ### Patches Upgrade to >v1.70.1 ### Workarounds Any **ONE** of these is sufficient to block this reporting: - Disable usage reporting by setting configuration option `usage_report.enabled` or environment variable `LAKEFS_USAGE_REPORT_ENABLED` to `false`. - Using load-balancer or application level firewall - blocking the request route /api/v1/usage-report/summary.
