Harbor fails to validate the user permissions when updating a robot account

CVE-2022-31667 → View on GitHub ↗ View on CVE.org ↗ View on NVD ↗

Description

Impact

Harbor fails to validate the user permissions when updating a robot account that
belongs to a project that the authenticated user doesn’t have access to. API call:

PUT /robots/{robot_id}

By sending a request that attempts to update a robot account, and specifying a robot
account id and robot account name that belongs to a different project that the user
doesn’t have access to, it was possible to revoke the robot account permissions.

Patches

This and similar issues are fixed in Harbor v2.5.2 and later. Please upgrade as soon as possible.

Workarounds

There are no workarounds available.

6.4 3.1 —
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:L Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:C)
Breaking this can reach past the original component and bite other resources—bigger blast radius.
Confidentiality (C:N)
Doesn’t really leak secrets in a meaningful way.
Integrity (I:L)
Attackers could change some data, but it’s limited—not everything goes.
Availability (A:L)
Might cause slowdowns, glitches, or partial disruption—not a full brick.
