CVE-2020-28002

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions SonarQube version 8.4.2.36762

Description The issue allows an external attacker to bypass authentication through SonarScanner by setting an empty value for the -D sonar.login option, which forces anonymous authentication. This enables the creation and overwriting of public and private projects via the "/api/ce/submit" endpoint.

Recommendations For SonarQube version 8.4.2.36762, consider disabling the SonarScanner or restricting access to the "/api/ce/submit" endpoint until a patch is available. Additionally, avoid using an empty value for the -D sonar.login option to prevent anonymous authentication. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
