CVE-2024-45606: Improper authorization on muting of alert rules in sentry

Published Sep 17, 2024
·
Updated

Impact An authenticated user can mute alert rules from arbitrary organizations and projects given a known given rule ID. The user does not need to be a member of the organization or have permissions on the project.

In our review, we have identified no instances where alerts have been muted by unauthorized parties.

Patches A patch was issued to ensure authorization checks are properly scoped on requests to mute alert rules. Authenticated users who do not have the necessary permissions are no longer able to mute alerts.

Sentry SaaS users do not need to take any action. Self-Hosted Sentry users should upgrade to version 24.9.0 or higher.

Affected Versions The rule mute feature was generally available as of 23.6.0 but users with early access may have had the feature as of 23.4.0.

Update As of 2024-10-25 and after additional we've updated the Severity scoring to reduce Privileged Required from Low to None and Integrity from High to Low. Thanks again to @emanuelbeni for the correction on Privileges Required.
