InfluxDB: The Accidental Admin Promotion You Didn’t Sign Up For!
InfluxDB OSS vulnerability lets users with an allAccess token escalate privileges to operator level faster than a toddler with a crayon on a clean wall. This flaw turns mere mortals into database overlords, potentially compromising data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Remember, with great power comes great responsibility—or at least a stern warning.
Hot Take:
Oh, InfluxDB, you’ve done it again! Just when we thought we were safe, you’ve gone and sprung a business logic flaw on us. Who knew an “allAccess” token could actually mean “all your data are belong to us”? This isn’t just a case of having too much access; it’s like giving the keys to a candy store to a kid on Halloween night. Time for some serious security trick-or-treating before the sugar rush kicks in!
Key Points:
- InfluxDB OSS has a privilege escalation flaw via a business logic error.
- The flaw allows users with an “allAccess” token to escalate their privileges.
- This vulnerability has a high CVSS score of 9.1, indicating severe impact.
- Attackers need a valid “allAccess” token within the same organization as the operator token.
- The flaw jeopardizes data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
