GHSA-f4qr-f4xx-hjxw: OpenSearch vulnerable to Improper Authorization of Index Containing Sensitive Information

Impact

Requests to an OpenSearch cluster configured with advanced access control features (document level security (DLS), field level security (FLS), and/or field masking) will not be filtered when the query’s search pattern matches an aliased index.

OpenSearch Dashboards creates an alias to .kibana by default, so filters with the index pattern of * to restrict access to documents or fields will not be applied.

This issue allows requests to access sensitive information when customer have acted to restrict access that specific information.

Patches

OpenSearch 2.2.0+ contains the fix for this issue. OpenSearch Security Plugin 2.2.0.0 is compatible with OpenSearch 2.2.0.

Workarounds

There is no recommended work around.

CVE-2023-28864: Chef Infra Server Release Notes

Progress Chef Infra Server before 15.7 allows a local attacker to exploit a /var/opt/opscode/local-mode-cache/backup world-readable temporary backup path to access sensitive information, resulting in the disclosure of all indexed node data, because OpenSearch credentials are exposed. (The data typically includes credentials for additional systems.) The attacker must wait for an admin to run the "chef-server-ctl reconfigure" command.

CVE-2022-35980: Improper Authorization of Index Containing Sensitive Information in OpenSearch

OpenSearch Security is a plugin for OpenSearch that offers encryption, authentication and authorization. Versions 2.0.0.0 and 2.1.0.0 of the security plugin are affected by an information disclosure vulnerability. Requests to an OpenSearch cluster configured with advanced access control features document level security (DLS), field level security (FLS), and/or field masking will not be filtered when the query's search pattern matches an aliased index. OpenSearch Dashboards creates an alias to `.kibana` by default, so filters with the index pattern of `*` to restrict access to documents or fields will not be applied. This issue allows requests to access sensitive information when customer have acted to restrict access that specific information. OpenSearch 2.2.0, which is compatible with OpenSearch Security 2.2.0.0, contains the fix for this issue. There is no recommended work around.
