Description
Magistrala through 1.0.0 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability that allows authenticated workspace members to view, issue, and revoke other tenants' device certificates by supplying foreign serials or entity ids. Attackers can call RevokeBySerial, RevokeAll, ViewCert, ListCerts, or IssueCert under their own workspace path to disconnect other tenants' devices, disclose certificates, and mint CA-signed certificates for their device ids.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability in Magistrala’s Certs service allows an authenticated user belonging to one tenant to perform certificate actions—viewing, revoking, and issuing—on devices belonging to other tenants by supplying foreign serial numbers or entity identifiers. This bypasses normal tenant isolation and can lead to unintended device disconnection, disclosure of cryptographic material, and creation of CA‑signed certificates for the attacker’s device IDs.

Affected Systems

Vendor: absmach; Product: Magistrala, Version 1.0.0 and earlier. All releases up to and including 1.0.0 are affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.2 indicates high severity, but the EPSS score is not available, making the exact exploitation likelihood unclear. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Attackers must first authenticate with a workspace account and then invoke the Certs endpoints, so the vector is Authenticated Remote. Given the moderate to high potential impact on confidentiality and integrity, the risk is considered significant for installations that have not yet been patched.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply any available patch or upgrade Magistrala to a later, patched release such as 1.0.1 or newer when it becomes available.
  • If an upgrade is not yet available, restrict or disable the Certs endpoints (RevokeBySerial, RevokeAll, ViewCert, ListCerts, IssueCert) for unauthorized tenants by implementing stricter access controls or removing the endpoints from the exposed API surface.
  • Revoke any certificates that may have been issued or revoked across tenant boundaries, rotate compromised keys, and generate fresh certificates for each tenant to restore trust.
