Happy 13th Birthday, KrebsOnSecurity!

KrebsOnSecurity turns 12 years old today. That's a crazy long time for an independent media outlet these days, but then again I'm liable to keep doing this as long as they keep letting me! Thanks to your readership and support, I was able to spend more time in 2022 on in-depth investigative stories -- the really satisfying kind with the potential to affect positive change. Some of that work is highlighted in the 2022 Year in Breaches review below.

CVE-2022-46172: Existing Authenticated Users can Create Arbitrary Accounts

authentik is an open-source Identity provider focused on flexibility and versatility. In versions prior to 2022.10.4, and 2022.11.4, any authenticated user can create an arbitrary number of accounts through the default flows. This would circumvent any policy in a situation where it is undesirable for users to create new accounts by themselves. This may also affect other applications as these new basic accounts would exist throughout the SSO infrastructure. By default the newly created accounts cannot be logged into as no password reset exists by default. However password resets are likely to be enabled by most installations. This vulnerability pertains to the user context used in the default-user-settings-flow, /api/v3/flows/instances/default-user-settings-flow/execute/. This issue has been fixed in versions 2022.10.4 and 2022.11.4.
