Descriptions

In Apache APISIX before 2.13.0, when decoding JSON with duplicate keys, lua-cjson will choose the last occurred value as the result. By passing a JSON with a duplicate key, the attacker can bypass the body_schema validation in the request-validation plugin. For example, `{"string_payload":"bad","string_payload":"good"}` can be used to hide the "bad" input. Systems satisfy three conditions below are affected by this attack: 1. use body_schema validation in the request-validation plugin 2. upstream application uses a special JSON library that chooses the first occurred value, like jsoniter or gojay 3. upstream application does not validate the input anymore. The fix in APISIX is to re-encode the validated JSON input back into the request body at the side of APISIX. Improper Input Validation vulnerability in __COMPONENT__ of Apache APISIX allows an attacker to __IMPACT__. This issue affects Apache APISIX Apache APISIX version 2.12.1 and prior versions.

En Apache APISIX versiones anteriores a 2.13.0, cuando es decodificado JSON con claves duplicadas, lua-cjson elegirá como resultado el último valor ocurrido. Al pasar un JSON con una clave duplicada, el atacante puede omitir la comprobación body_schema en el plugin de comprobación de peticiones. Por ejemplo, "{"string_payload": "bad", "string_payload": "good"}" puede usarse para ocultar la entrada "bad". Los sistemas que cumplen las tres condiciones siguientes están afectados por este ataque: 1. usar la comprobación body_schema en el plugin de comprobación de peticiones 2. la aplicación upstream usa una librería JSON especial que elige el primer valor ocurrido, como jsoniter o gojay 3. la aplicación upstream ya no comprueba la entrada. La solución en APISIX es recodificar la entrada JSON comprobada en el cuerpo de la petición en el lado de APISIX. Una vulnerabilidad de comprobación de entrada inapropiada en __COMPONENT__ de Apache APISIX permite a un atacante __IMPACT__. Este problema afecta a Apache APISIX versiones 2.12.1 y anteriores
