vantage6 vulnerabilities

vantage6 version 5.0.2 and earlier has an algorithm-store edit permission lacking an ownership check, allowing one algorithm developer to alter another developer's algorithm while it is pending or under review. The attacker can change metadata including the algorithm image or image tag, causing reviewers and nodes to trust a different image from the one originally submitted. No fixed version is available as of this review.

In versions prior to 5.0.0 of vantage6, malicious algorithms can potentially access other algorithms' input and output files. The issue is fixed in version 5.0.0.

In versions prior to 5.0.0 of the vantage6 software, the default user `root` with the password `root` poses a significant security risk. Attackers can easily gain access to the system as many vantage6 servers have this user with admin rights.

In versions prior to 5.0.0 of the vantage6 software, an attacker who gains access to a user's email account can reset the password and the 2FA token via email, reducing security to a single authentication factor (email access). Version 5.0.0 fixes this issue.

In versions prior to 5.0.0, users can reset their MFA tokens via API routes that send them emails. The number of emails sent is not limited, allowing attackers to flood users' mailboxes.
