Description
OliveTin gives access to predefined shell commands from a web interface. In versions 3000.0.0 and prior, The ValidateArgumentType RPC endpoint in service/internal/api/api.go does not perform any authentication or authorization checks. Unlike all other data-returning API endpoints, it does not call auth.UserFromApiCall or checkDashboardAccess. When AuthRequireGuestsToLogin is enabled (the security-conscious configuration), this endpoint remains accessible to unauthenticated users and can be used as an oracle to enumerate valid action binding IDs and their argument configurations. This issue has been fixed in version 3000.13.0.

AI Analysis

Impact

The ValidateArgumentType RPC endpoint in OliveTin versions through 3000.12.9 does not perform authentication or authorization checks, allowing any user to query available action identifiers and their argument schemas. This flaw does not directly permit command execution but leaks metadata about configured shell commands, potentially aiding a threat actor in reconnaissance and future attack planning. The weakness aligns with CWE-862, Missing Access Control.

Affected Systems

All installations of OliveTin versions 3000.0.0 and prior are affected, regardless of configuration. The issue is resolved in OliveTin 3000.13.0 and later releases.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 3.7 classifies this vulnerability as low severity, reflecting the limited impact of merely enumerating action IDs and arguments. The EPSS score of less than 1% indicates an extremely low likelihood of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Nevertheless, unauthenticated enumeration could be leveraged in conjunction with other weaknesses, enabling more targeted attacks on the system. The attack vector is unauthenticated HTTP requests to a public API endpoint.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade OliveTin to version 3000.13.0 or later, removing the unauthenticated access to the ValidateArgumentType API endpoint.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, reconfigure the application to require authentication for all API calls, or use network controls to block unauthenticated traffic to the OliveTin API.
  • Apply network segmentation or firewall rules to restrict exposure of the OliveTin API to trusted internal hosts only, ensuring that external requests cannot reach the vulnerable endpoint.
