Description
TheHive through 4.1.24 contains a broken object-level authorization vulnerability in the attachment download endpoints that allows any authenticated user to access attachments belonging to other organizations by supplying a content-hash identifier. Attackers can exploit the missing organization-scoped authorization check in AttachmentSrv.visible, which is implemented as a pass-through traversal, to download arbitrary attachments.

AI Analysis

Impact

TheHive, up to version 4.1.24, suffers from a broken object‑level authorization flaw in its attachment download endpoints. The missing organization‑scoped check allows any authenticated user to request a content‑hash identifier and retrieve attachments that belong to other organizations. This flaw can lead to the disclosure of sensitive documents and potentially other data that could be attached to those files. The weakness is classified as CWE‑639, reflecting a failure to enforce proper access control on resources.

Affected Systems

TheHive 4.1.24 and earlier versions of the platform, maintained by TheHive‑Project. The vulnerability is limited to the attachment download API exposed by the AttachmentSrv component.

Risk and Exploitability

The severity is moderate, with a CVSS score of 7.1, yet the EPSS score is reported as less than 1%, suggesting a low likelihood of exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability requires authentication, but an attacker who has legitimate login credentials can abuse the missing check by supplying a valid content‑hash. No widely available exploit has been disclosed, and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalogue.

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to a version of TheHive that includes the object‑level authorization fix for attachments
  • Limit user permissions so that only members who should access cross‑organization attachments are granted the necessary API rights
  • Implement monitoring of the attachment download API to detect and alert on unauthorized requests
