Vulnerability details
Minder is a software supply chain security platform. Prior to version 0.0.33, a Minder user can use the endpoints `GetRepositoryByName`, `DeleteRepositoryByName`, and `GetArtifactByName` to access any repository in the database, irrespective of who owns the repo and any permissions present.…
more
The database query checks by repo owner, repo name and provider name (which is always `github`). These query values are not distinct for the particular user - as long as the user has valid credentials and a provider, they can set the repo owner/name to any value they want and the server will return information on this repo. Version 0.0.33 contains a patch for this issue.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Documented procedures facilitate correct implementation and ongoing management of authorization decisions.
Periodic reviews identify and correct flaws in authorization decisions or enforcement.
The control's documentation requirement reduces improper authorization by ensuring only mission-justified actions bypass authentication.
Establishing permitted attributes and values, plus auditing changes, ensures authorization decisions are based on correctly managed policy data.
Explicitly mandates authorizing remote access types before permitting connections, directly mitigating improper authorization.
The control explicitly requires authorization of each wireless access type prior to permitting connections.
Mandating explicit authorization of mobile device connections reduces the risk of improper authorization decisions for system access.
Specifying access authorizations for each account and requiring approvals for account requests enforces proper authorization decisions.
