CVE-2024-4536 Information

Description

In Eclipse Dataspace Components from version 0.2.1 to 0.6.2 in the EDC Connector component ( https://github.com/eclipse-edc/Connector ) an attacker might obtain OAuth2 client secrets from the vault.

In Eclipse Dataspace Components from version 0.2.1 to 0.6.2 we have identified a security vulnerability in the EDC Connector component ( https://github.com/eclipse-edc/Connector ) regarding the OAuth2-protected data sink feature. When using a custom OAuth2-protected data sink the OAuth2-specific data address properties are resolved by the provider data plane. Problematically the consumer-provided clientSecretKey which indicates the OAuth2 client secret to retrieve from a secrets vault is resolved in the context of the provider’s vault not the consumer. This secret’s value is then sent to the tokenUrl also consumer-controlled as part of an OAuth2 client credentials grant. The returned access token is then sent as a bearer token to the data sink URL.

This feature is now disabled entirely because not all code paths necessary for a successful realization were fully implemented.
