svix vulnerable to Authentication Bypass
CVE-2024-21491 · GHSA-747x-5m58-mq97
- Affected
- crates.io svix < 1.17.0
- Fixed in
- 1.17.0· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- Versions of the package svix before 1.17.0 are vulnerable to Authentication Bypass due to an issue in the verify function where signatures of different lengths are incorrectly compared. An attacker can bypass signature verification by providing a shorter signature that matches the beginning of the actual signature. Note: The attacker would need to know a victim uses the Rust library for verification,no easy way to automatically check that; and uses webhooks by a service that uses Svix, and then figure out a way to craft a malicious payload that will actually include all of the correct identifiers needed to trick the receivers to cause actual issues.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 1.17.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
