Open advisories
3 actionable advisories, newest first. Withdrawn advisories and news are excluded. Coverage is partial.
Opencast prior to versions 17.6 would incorrectly send the hashed global system account credentials (ie: org.opencastproject.security.digest.user and org.opencastproject.security.digest.pass) when attempting to fetch mediapackage elements included in a mediapackage XML file. A previous CVE prevented many cases where the credentials were inappropriately sent, but not all. The remainder are addressed with this patch. Impact Anyone with ingest permissions could cause Opencast to send its hashed global system account credentials to a url of their choosing. Patches This issue is fixed in Opencast 17.6 If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: - Open an issue in our issue tracker - Email us at security@opencast.org
Recommended action: Upgrade to 17.6 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
Prior to Opencast 10.14 and 11.7, users could pass along URLs for files belonging to organizations other than the user's own, which Opencast would then import into the current organization, bypassing organizational barriers. Impact The vulnerability allows attackers to bypass organizational barriers. Attackers must have full access to Opencast's ingest REST interface, and also know internal links to resources in another organization of the same Opencast cluster. If you do not run a multi-tenant cluster, you are not affected by this issue. Patches This issue is fixed in Opencast 10.14 and 11.7.

Recommended action: Upgrade to 11.7 or 10.14 by release line, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
Opencast before version 10.6 allows references to local file URLs in ingested media packages, allowing attackers to include local files from Opencast's host machines and making them available via the web interface. Impact Before Opencast 10.6, Opencast would open and include local files during ingests. Attackers could exploit this to include most local files the process has read access to, extracting secrets from the host machine. For example, to expose the custom.properties of develop.opencast.org via the asset manager, an attacker could have run: An attacker would need to have the privileges required to add new media to exploit this. But these are often widely given. Patches The issue has been fixed in Opencast 10.6 and 11.0. Workarounds You can mitigate this issue by narrowing down the read access Opencast has to files on the file system using UNIX permissions or mandatory access control systems like SELinux. This cannot prevent access to files Opencast needs to read though and we…
