Vulnerability Data
n authorization flaw in Foreman's GraphQL API allows low-privileged users to access metadata beyond their assigned permissions. Unlike the REST API, which correctly enforces access controls, the GraphQL endpoint does not apply proper filtering, leading to an authorization bypass.

Why these techniques?
Authorization bypass in GraphQL API directly enables privilege escalation from low-privileged accounts and unauthorized data/metadata access.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly enforces authorization decisions so that GraphQL queries cannot return metadata outside a user's assigned permissions.
Applies information-flow filtering on API responses, which the vulnerable GraphQL endpoint failed to perform unlike the REST API.
Limits privileges granted to low-privileged accounts, reducing the scope of data exposed by the authorization bypass.

Defining, enforcing, and reviewing access authorizations and least privilege directly prevents incorrect authorization checks.

Requiring consistency between access rights and classification plus formal approval steps ensures that the authorization logic correctly distinguishes between entities that should and should not be granted access.
Enforcing policy-driven approval and role-change reviews stops incorrect or stale authorization decisions from remaining in effect after job changes or terminations.
By tying access rights to identity, device, location and classification, the control reduces the likelihood that an authorization decision will be based on an incorrect or bypassed policy.
