Cloud Foundry, UAA vulnerabilities

An issue was discovered in Cloud Foundry affecting versions v252 and earlier, as well as UAA versions from v2.0.0 to v2.7.4.12 and from v3.0.0 to v3.11.0. UAA is vulnerable to session fixation when configured to authenticate against external SAML or OpenID Connect based identity providers.

An issue was discovered in Cloud Foundry release v247 through v252 and UAA release v3.9.0 through v3.11.0 that may lead to a denial of service attack on UAA OAuth clients.

Cloud Foundry and UAA versions before 248; UAA 2.x before 2.7.4.12, 3.x before 3.6.5, and 3.7.x through 3.9.x before 3.9.3 have a vulnerability that allows attackers to gain privileges by accessing UAA logs and subsequently running a specially crafted application that interacts with a configured SAML provider.

Cloud Foundry UAA versions v76.12.0 through v78.12.0 inadvertently expose EC private keys through the public /token_keys endpoint. The vulnerability affects only deployments using EC keys for JWT token signing.

Improper handling of case sensitivity (CWE-178) in the identity zone authorization check in the Identity Zone Endpoint in Cloud Foundry UAA allows a remote authenticated attacker holding only the zones.write authority to bypass the intended restriction that this authority does not grant access to the privileged uaa (system) identity zone, by referring to the zone identifier in a non-lowercase form (e.g. UAA) in the request path and body. The authorization layer performs a case-sensitive comparison against the system zone identifier, while the underlying MySQL persistence layer resolves identifiers case-insensitively under its default collation, so the request is authorized incorrectly and is then resolved against the real system zone record. This allows the attacker to overwrite the system zone's JWT signing key with attacker-controlled key material, forge JWTs claiming the admin client and administrator scopes, and fully compromise UAA and any Cloud Foundry deployment that trusts it. This issue only affects UAA deployments backed by MySQL using its default collation; PostgreSQL and HSQLDB backends are not affected.
