Q1What is this vulnerability? (Essence + Consequences)
π¨ **Essence**: Access Control Error in Harbor. π **Consequences**: Attackers can access private/public repos without auth. They can pull images and leak sensitive info.β¦
π‘οΈ **CWE**: Not specified in data (Access Control Issue). π **Flaw**: Improper authorization checks. The system fails to verify if the user has permission before exposing repository data.β¦
π¦ **Product**: Harbor (Open Source Registry). π **Affected Versions**: V1.X.X to V2.5.3. π« **Also Affected**: V2.6.0. β οΈ **Scope**: Any deployment of these specific versions exposed to the network.
Q4What can hackers do? (Privileges/Data)
ποΈ **Privileges**: Unauthenticated access. π **Data**: Can list ALL projects (public & private). π₯ **Action**: Can pull/download any image. π΅οΈ **Risk**: Exposes source code, configs, and secrets inside images.
Q5Is exploitation threshold high? (Auth/Config)
π **Auth**: None required! Zero authentication needed. βοΈ **Config**: Depends on API exposure. If the API endpoint is reachable, exploitation is trivial. π― **Threshold**: LOW. Easy to automate.
Q6Is there a public Exp? (PoC/Wild Exploitation)
π» **Public Exp**: YES. Multiple PoCs available on GitHub. π οΈ **Tools**: `CVE-2022-46463.py`, `harbor.py`. π **Automation**: Scripts exist to dump images automatically. π’ **Status**: Actively exploited in the wild.
Q7How to self-check? (Features/Scanning)
π **Check**: Send HTTP request to `/api/search?q=`. β **Result**: If you get JSON data without 401/403, you are vulnerable. π§ͺ **Scanner**: Use Nuclei templates (`CVE-2022-46463.yaml`).β¦
π§ **Fix**: Upgrade Harbor to a version > V2.5.3 (and not V2.6.0 if vulnerable). π **Patch**: Official patches released by VMware/GitHub. β³ **Status**: Fixed in newer releases. Check vendor advisories.
Q9What if no patch? (Workaround)
π§ **Workaround**: Restrict API access via Firewall/WAF. π **Network**: Block external access to Harbor API ports (default 80/443). π **Access Control**: Ensure no public projects exist if not needed.β¦
π₯ **Priority**: CRITICAL. π¨ **Urgency**: HIGH. π **Risk**: High impact (data breach). β‘ **Action**: Patch immediately. This is a 'zero-auth' vulnerability. Do not wait.
