Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insufficient Session Expiration in the AuthorizationFilter of the REST service, which caches authenticated users in a UserCache keyed by the Basic Authorization header and never expires or revalidates the entries. An attacker can gain authenticated access to the REST interface by replaying a captured Basic Authorization header whose credentials have since been changed or revoked, which the cache still resolves to a valid user without rechecking the credentials. Exploitation requires the REST interface to be enabled and the attacker to possess a Basic Authorization header value that was valid before its underlying credentials were rotated or revoked.
