GHSA-23x4-m842-fmwf

Описание

Impact

On Unix like systems, the system's temporary directory is shared between all users on that system. A collocated user can observe the process of creating a temporary sub directory in the shared temporary directory and race to complete the creation of the temporary subdirectory.

This vulnerability is local privilege escalation because the contents of the outputFolder can be appended to by an attacker. As such, code written to this directory, when executed can be attacker controlled.

openapi-generator-online creates insecure temporary folders with File.createTempFile during the code generation process. The insecure temporary folders store the auto-generated files which can be read and appended to by any users on the system.

Vulnerable Code

https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/blob/c6530519975341d7784a252132b2f0854f488901/modules/openapi-generator-online/src/main/java/org/openapitools/codegen/online/service/Generator.java#L184-L187

This vulnerability exists due to a race condition between the deletion of the randomly generated temporary file and the creation of the temporary directory.

Patches

The issue has been patched by changing the underlying logic to use Files.createTempFile and has been released in the v5.1.0 stable version.

This vulnerability has the same root cause as CVE-2021-21363 from the swagger-api/swagger-codegen project as this project and that one both share the same original source tree. See: https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen/security/advisories/GHSA-pc22-3g76-gm6j
