CVE-2022-31022 – Missing Role Based Access Control for the REST handlers in bleve/http package

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2022-31022

Bleve is a text indexing library for go. Bleve includes HTTP utilities under bleve/http package, that are used by its sample application. These HTTP methods pave way for exploitation of a node’s filesystem where the bleve index resides, if the user has used bleve’s own HTTP (bleve/http) handlers for exposing the access to the indexes. For instance, the CreateIndexHandler (`http/index_create.go`) and DeleteIndexHandler (`http/index_delete.go`) enable an attacker to create a bleve index (directory structure) anywhere where the user running the server has the write permissions and to delete recursively any directory owned by the same user account. Users who have used the bleve/http package for exposing access to bleve index without the explicit handling for the Role Based Access Controls(RBAC) of the index assets would be impacted by this issue. • https://github.com/blevesearch/bleve/commit/1c7509d6a17d36f265c90b4e8f4e3a3182fe79ff https://github.com/blevesearch/bleve/security/advisories/GHSA-9w9f-6mg8-jp7w • CWE-288: Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel CWE-306: Missing Authentication for Critical Function •
