Description
basecamp/upright at commit efe4f2e5254ac6e57e45d2261804cca74dbbca3f disables Rails CSRF protection for its Alertmanager and Prometheus proxy controllers. An unauthenticated attacker can induce a logged-in user's browser to submit requests that are forwarded to enabled upstream write or management endpoints, such as creating an Alertmanager silence or requesting a Prometheus reload. The final impact depends on the APIs enabled by the upstream services.

AI Analysis

Impact

basecamp/upright disables CSRF protection for two proxy controllers, allowing a user’s browser to unknowingly submit requests to downstream services. An attacker can force a logged‑in user to trigger writes such as creating an Alertmanager silence or reloading Prometheus. The resulting impact is the attacker’s ability to balance the configuration or silence alerts without direct authentication, potentially leading to denial of service or inadvertent operational changes.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability resides in the Basecamp Upright application, specifically in the alertmanager_proxy_controller and prometheus_proxy_controller. No official vendor product or version list is provided; the affected code is the commit efe4f2e5254ac6e57e45d2261804cca74dbbca3f.

Risk and Exploitability

No EPSS score and it is not listed in CISA KEV. The CVSS score is not supplied, so explicit severity cannot be determined from the input. Because CSRF protection is disabled, the flaw is exploitable as long as a user has a session with an authenticated connection to Upright and the upstream service permits the operations being requested. The risk is higher when the upstream endpoints are enabled and accessible.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the upstream patch that restores CSRF protection for the proxy controllers or upgrade to a version where this issue is resolved.
  • If a patch is not immediately available, disable or remove the alertmanager_proxy_controller and prometheus_proxy_controller routes until CSRF protection can be reinstated.
  • Restrict network access to the upstream Alertmanager and Prometheus endpoints to trusted hosts or internal networks only, limiting the potential impact of a forged request.
