accesscontrol 3.0.5 vulnerabilities

Known vulnerabilities in the accesscontrol package. This does not include vulnerabilities belonging to this package’s dependencies.

Vulnerability	Vulnerable Version
H Improper Privilege Management Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Privilege Management due to the improper enforcement of access controls in the `UserFolder` component. An attacker can delete user data without proper authorization. How to fix Improper Privilege Management? Upgrade `AccessControl` to version 7.2 or higher.	[,7.2)
M Race Condition Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Race Condition via `guarded_import` when multiple requests run into the same initializing script which imports the same library. How to fix Race Condition? Upgrade `AccessControl` to version 5.3.1 or higher.	[,5.3.1)
M Information Exposure Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. When the `format` functionality of Python is utilized, an individual controlling the format string can access objects via attribute access and subscription from accessible objects. This access uses Python's `getattr` and `getitem`, not the policy restricted `AccessControl` variants `_getattr_` and `_getitem_`. This could potentially lead to critical information disclosure. How to fix Information Exposure? Upgrade `AccessControl` to version 4.4, 6.2 or higher.	[,4.4)[5.0,6.2)
M Timing Attack `accesscontrol` is a Security framework for Zope2. AccessControl/AuthEncoding.py in Zope before 2.13.19, as used in Plone before 4.2.3 and 4.3 before beta 1, allows remote attackers to obtain passwords via vectors involving timing discrepancies in password validation.	[3.0,3.0.5]
M Insecure Randomness `accesscontrol` is a Security framework for Zope2. Zope before 2.13.19, as used in Plone before 4.2.3 and 4.3 before beta 1, does not reseed the pseudo-random number generator (PRNG), which makes it easier for remote attackers to guess the value via unspecified vectors. NOTE: this issue was SPLIT from CVE-2012-5508 due to different vulnerability types (ADT2).	[3.0,3.0.5]

Vulnerability

Vulnerable Version

Improper Privilege Management

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Privilege Management due to the improper enforcement of access controls in the UserFolder component. An attacker can delete user data without proper authorization.

How to fix Improper Privilege Management?

Upgrade AccessControl to version 7.2 or higher.

[,7.2)

Race Condition

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Race Condition via guarded_import when multiple requests run into the same initializing script which imports the same library.

How to fix Race Condition?

Upgrade AccessControl to version 5.3.1 or higher.

[,5.3.1)

Information Exposure

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. When the format functionality of Python is utilized, an individual controlling the format string can access objects via attribute access and subscription from accessible objects. This access uses Python's getattr and getitem, not the policy restricted AccessControl variants _getattr_ and _getitem_. This could potentially lead to critical information disclosure.

How to fix Information Exposure?

Upgrade AccessControl to version 4.4, 6.2 or higher.

[,4.4)[5.0,6.2)

Timing Attack

accesscontrol is a Security framework for Zope2. AccessControl/AuthEncoding.py in Zope before 2.13.19, as used in Plone before 4.2.3 and 4.3 before beta 1, allows remote attackers to obtain passwords via vectors involving timing discrepancies in password validation.

Insecure Randomness

accesscontrol is a Security framework for Zope2. Zope before 2.13.19, as used in Plone before 4.2.3 and 4.3 before beta 1, does not reseed the pseudo-random number generator (PRNG), which makes it easier for remote attackers to guess the value via unspecified vectors. NOTE: this issue was SPLIT from CVE-2012-5508 due to different vulnerability types (ADT2).
