CVE-2022-24797: Exposure of Sensitive Information in Pomerium
First published: Thu Mar 31 2022(Updated: )
### Impact In distributed service mode, Pomerium's Authenticate service exposes pprof debug and prometheus metrics handlers to untrusted traffic. This can leak potentially sensitive environmental information or lead to limited denial of service conditions. ### Patches v0.17.1 ### Workarounds Block access to `/debug` and `/metrics` paths on the authenticate service. This can be done with any L7 proxy, including Pomerium's own proxy service. ### References https://github.com/pomerium/pomerium/pull/3212 ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [Pomerium](https://github.com/pomerium/pomerium) * Email us at [security@pomerium.com](mailto:security@pomerium.com)
