    Unsafe Identifiers in Opencast

    CVE-2020-5230 · GHSA-w29m-fjp4-qhmq

    Affected
    • Maven org.opencastproject:base < 7.6; >= 8.0, < 8.1
    Fixed in
    8.17.6· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    Impact Opencast allows almost arbitrary identifiers for media packages and elements to be used. This can be problematic for operation and security since such identifiers are sometimes used for file system operations which may lead to an attacker being able to escape working directories and write files to other locations. In addition, Opencast's Id.toString(…) vs Id.compact(…) behavior, the latter trying to mitigate some of the file system problems, can cause errors due to identifier mismatch since an identifier may unintentionally change. Patches This issue is fixed in Opencast 7.6 and 8.1. Workarounds There is no workaround for this.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 8.1 or 7.6 by release line, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
