SilverStripe Vulnerability on 'isDev', 'isTest' and 'flush' $_GET validation

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 23, 2024 to the GitHub Advisory Database

Package

composer silverstripe/framework (Composer)

Affected versions

>= 3.0.0, <= 3.0.13
>= 3.1.0, < 3.1.13

Patched versions

Description

When a secure token parameter is provided to a SilverStripe site (such as isDev or flush) an empty token parameter can be provided in order to bypass normal authentication parameters.

For instance, http://www.mysite.com/?isDev=1&isDevtoken will force a site to dev mode. Alternatively, "flush" could also be used in succession to cause excessive load on a victim site and risk denial of service.

The fix in this case is to ensure that empty tokens fail the validation check.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
