Summary

GeoLens prior to 1.2.3 contains multiple authorization flaws in read and link endpoints. The application authorizes only the resource named in the request URL and fails to re-authorize a second caller-influenced dataset reached through relationships, map layers, VRT sources, externalId lookups, or request bodies. Anonymous callers can obtain metadata, rows, vector geometries, raster pixels, and other data from private datasets via public maps, dataset relationship APIs, and the /collections/datasets/items endpoint.

Risk Assessment

Disclosure of private geospatial data — including geometries, attributes, raster pixels, table names, and column schemas — to unauthorized parties. Additionally, a replayable HMAC tile URL leak allows unauthorized access to vector tiles not bound to any user or map.

Recommendation

Upgrade GeoLens to version 1.2.3 or later, which fixes these authorization paths. Until then, restrict access to public maps and dataset relationship APIs, and verify that no private resources are linked to public maps or VRT sources.

Original NVD description (English source)

GeoLens is a self-hosted geospatial data catalog with semantic search, OGC and STAC APIs, and a map builder. Prior to 1.2.3, multiple read and link endpoints authorize only the resource named in the request URL and fail to re-authorize a second caller-influenced dataset reached through a relationship, map layer, VRT source, externalId lookup, or request body. When a public map references a private dataset, anonymous callers can use GET /maps/{id} and GET /maps/{id}/style.json to obtain the private layer's metadata, sampled values, or vector tiles. The style response can expose a replayable HMAC tile URL that is bound to neither a user nor a map. When a public source dataset has a relationship to a private target dataset, anonymous callers can use the dataset relationship APIs to enumerate the relationship and read rows from the private target's backing table. Anonymous callers can also use GET /collections/datasets/items with an externalId dataset UUID to obtain metadata for any private, restricted, or unpublished dataset because that lookup performs no visibility check. Authenticated users with the default editor role can mosaic another user's private raster into an owned VRT and read its pixels, and POST /ai/metadata/{summary,keywords,lineage,quality-statement} accepts a body-controlled dataset_id without a visibility check and returns private metadata and sample values. Pre-existing vrt_source_links also expose unauthorized member metadata and health unless each member is filtered at read time. These paths can disclose vector geometries and attributes, raster pixels, table rows, table names, column schemas, feature counts, extents, source URLs and filenames, contacts, and sampled row values. This issue is fixed in version 1.2.3.
