Description

Impact

Sean Wright from Secureworks has discovered an enumeration vulnerability. An attacker can make use of the Harbor API to make unauthenticated calls to the Harbor instance. Based on the HTTP status code in the response, an attacker is then able to work out which resources exist, and which do not. This would likely be accomplished by either providing a wordlist or enumerating through a sequence an unauthenticated attacker is able to enumerate resources on the system. This provides them with information such as existing projects, repositories, etc.

The vulnerability was immediately fixed by the Harbor team.

Issue

The following API resources where found to be vulnerable to enumeration attacks: /api/chartrepo/{repo}/prov (POST) /api/chartrepo/{repo}/charts (GET, POST) /api/chartrepo/{repo}/charts/{name} (GET, DELETE) /api/chartrepo/{repo}/charts/{name}/{version} (GET, DELETE) /api/labels?name={name}&scope=p (GET) /api/repositories?project_id={id} (GET) /api/repositories/{repo_name}/ (GET, PUT, DELETE) /api/repositories/{repo_name}/tags (GET) /api/repositories/{repo_name}/tags/{tag}/manifest?version={version} (GET) /api/repositories/{repo_name/{tag}/labels (GET) /api/projects?project_name={name} (HEAD) /api/projects/{project_id}/summary (GET) /api/projects/{project_id}/logs (GET) /api/projects/{project_id} (GET, PUT, DELETE) /api/projects/{project_id}/metadatas (GET, POST) /api/projects/{project_id}/metadatas/{metadata_name} (GET, PUT)

Known Attack Vectors

Successful exploitation of this issue will lead to bad actors identifying which resources exist in Harbor without requiring authentication for the Harbor API.

Patches

How to fix

Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.

Weakness

CWE-204: Observable Response Discrepancy

The product provides different responses to incoming requests in a way that reveals internal state information to an unauthorized actor outside of the intended control sphere.

How to prevent it
  • Architecture and Design: Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area. Ensure that appropriate compartmentalization is built into the system design, and the compartmentalization allows for and reinforces privilege separation functionality. Architects and designers should rely on the principle of least privilege to decide the appropriate time to use privileges and the time to drop privileges.
  • Implementation: Ensure that error messages only contain minimal details that are useful to the intended audience and no one else. The messages need to strike the balance between being too cryptic (which can confuse users) or being too detailed (which may reveal more than intended). The messages should not reveal the methods that were used to determine the error. Attackers can use detailed information to refine or optimize their original attack, thereby increasing their chances of success. If errors must be captured in some detail, record them in log messages, but consider what could occur if the log messages can be viewed by attackers. Highly sensitive information such as passwords should never be saved to log files. Avoid inconsistent messaging that might accidentally tip off an attacker about internal state, such as whether a user account exists or not.
