Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
openssl encrypt versions prior to 1.4.0
Description
An authentication bypass exists in the
verify api token() function, which accepts any non-empty Bearer token string without proper validation. This allows attackers to provide any Bearer token in the Authorization header to upload arbitrary public keys, enumerate all keys, and revoke keys belonging to any user.Recommendations
Update to version 1.4.0 or later.
As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the
verify api token() function to minimize the risk of exploitation.Exploit
Fix
