CVE NOT AVAILABLE CWE-269  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade com.schibsted.security:strongbox-sdk to version 0.5.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Privilege Management such that an attacker with read-only access to a Strongbox secret can craft a valid encrypted secret (same id/version).

Impact:

By default, the encrypted secrets are stored in DynamoDB and an attacker with read-only access would not be able to write the encrypted secret to DynamoDB. So in practice the impact should be limited for most users.
