Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Indy Node up to 1.12.4. Affected is an unknown functionality of the component pool-upgrade Request Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a improper authentication vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-287. When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Indy Node is the server portion of a distributed ledger purpose-built for decentralized identity. In versions 1.12.4 and prior, the `pool-upgrade` request handler in Indy-Node allows an improperly authenticated attacker to remotely execute code on nodes within the network. The `pool-upgrade` request handler in Indy-Node 1.12.5 has been updated to properly authenticate pool-upgrade transactions before any processing is performed by the request handler. The transactions are further sanitized to prevent remote code execution. As a workaround, endorsers should not create DIDs for untrusted users. A vulnerable ledger should configure `auth_rules` to prevent new DIDs from being written to the ledger until the network can be upgraded.

The weakness was shared 09/06/2022 as GHSA-r6v9-p59m-gj2p. The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2022-31020 since 05/18/2022. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available.
