Vulnerability Data

Infrahub offers a central hub to manage data, templates, and playbooks. Prior to versiond 1.3.9 and 1.4.5, a bug in the authentication logic will cause API tokens that were deleted and/or expired to be considered valid. This means that any…

API token that is associated with an active user account can authenticate successfully. This issue is fixed in versions 1.3.9 and 1.4.5. As a workaround, users can delete or deactivate the account associated with a deleted API token to prevent that token from authenticating.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

IA-5 Authenticator Management partial match

Authenticator management requires proper issuance, distribution, and lifecycle handling of certificates used for authentication, directly stopping expiration validation omissions.

PR.AA-03 partial match
prevents

Proper authentication of services/hardware requires certificate validation including expiration checks.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing can detect missing certificate expiration checks but does not constitute the control's full intent.

A.8.24 Use of cryptography partial match
prevents

Cryptography policy requires proper certificate lifecycle management including expiration validation.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding practices can include certificate validation checks but do not address the control's broader scope.

A.8.5 Secure authentication partial match
prevents

Secure authentication mandates validation of certificate attributes such as expiration dates.
