Quarkus Cache Runtime exposes sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Dec 6, 2023 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Aug 2, 2024

Package

maven io.quarkus:quarkus-cache (Maven)

Affected versions

>= 3.3.0.CR1, < 3.5.2
>= 3.2.0.CR1, < 3.2.9.Final

Patched versions

3.5.2
3.2.9.Final

Description

A flaw was found in the Quarkus Cache Runtime. When request processing utilizes a Uni cached using @CacheResult and the cached Uni reuses the initial "completion" context, the processing switches to the cached Uni instead of the request context. This is a problem if the cached Uni context contains sensitive information, and could allow a malicious user to benefit from a POST request returning the response that is meant for another user, gaining access to sensitive data.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
