Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-01-19 00:00 – Updated: 2022-07-13 00:01An issue was discovered in Delta RM 1.2. Using an privileged account, it is possible to edit, create, and delete risk labels, such as Criticality and Priority Indication labels. By using the /core/table/query endpoint, and by using a POST request and indicating the affected label with tableUid parameter and the operation with datas[query], it is possible to edit, create, and delete the following labels: Priority Indication, Quality Evaluation, Progress Margin and Priority. Furthermore, it is also possible to export Criticality labels with an unprivileged user.

Mitigation MIT-1
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Mitigation MIT-48
Strategy: Separation of Privilege
Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.
Mitigation MIT-49
Strategy: Separation of Privilege
Consider following the principle of separation of privilege. Require multiple conditions to be met before permitting access to a system resource.
CAPEC-122: Privilege Abuse
An adversary is able to exploit features of the target that should be reserved for privileged users or administrators but are exposed to use by lower or non-privileged accounts. Access to sensitive information and functionality must be controlled to ensure that only authorized users are able to access these resources.
CAPEC-233: Privilege Escalation
An adversary exploits a weakness enabling them to elevate their privilege and perform an action that they are not supposed to be authorized to perform.
CAPEC-58: Restful Privilege Elevation
An adversary identifies a Rest HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permission method allowing them to perform various malicious actions upon server data due to lack of access control mechanisms implemented within the application service accepting HTTP messages.
