org.sonarsource.sonarqube%3Asonar-plugin-api@6.7 vulnerabilities

org.sonarsource.sonarqube:sonar-plugin-api provides the capability to not only show health of an application but also to highlight issues newly introduced.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. An authenticated user could discover sensitive information such as valid user-account logins in the web application. The vulnerability occurs because of improperly configured access controls that cause the API to return the externalIdentity field to non-administrator users. The attacker could use this information in subsequent attacks against the system.

Upgrade org.sonarsource.sonarqube:sonar-plugin-api to version 7.4 or higher.

org.sonarsource.sonarqube:sonar-plugin-api provides the capability to not only show health of an application but also to highlight issues newly introduced.

Affected versions of the package are vulnerable to Arbitrary File Write via Archive Extraction (AKA "Zip Slip").

It is exploited using a specially crafted zip archive, that holds path traversal filenames. When exploited, a filename in a malicious archive is concatenated to the target extraction directory, which results in the final path ending up outside of the target folder. For instance, a zip may hold a file with a "../../file.exe" location and thus break out of the target folder. If an executable or a configuration file is overwritten with a file containing malicious code, the problem can turn into an arbitrary code execution issue quite easily.

The following is an example of a zip archive with one benign file and one malicious file. Extracting the malicous file will result in traversing out of the target folder, ending up in /root/.ssh/ overwriting the authorized_keys file:

+2018-04-15 22:04:29 ..... 19 19 good.txt

+2018-04-15 22:04:42 ..... 20 20 ../../../../../../root/.ssh/authorized_keys

Upgrade org.sonarsource.sonarqube:sonar-plugin-api to version 6.7.4 or higher.
