There's now also a disclosure by Cyata, the researchers who found these issues: https://cyata.ai/blog/exploiting-a-full-chain-of-trust-flaws-how-we-went-from-unauthenticated-to-arbitrary-remote-code-execution-rce-in-cyberark-conjur/

They also looked for and found logic flaws in HashiCorp Vault, but I am hoping we'll have a separate thread on that (I am asking them to post).

An attacker of Secrets Manager, Self-Hosted installations that route traffic from Secrets Manager to AWS through a misconfigured network device can reroute authentication requests to a malicious server under the attacker’s control. CyberArk believes there to be very few installations where this issue can be actively exploited, though Secrets Manager, Self-Hosted (formerly Conjur Enterprise) prior to versions 13.5.1 and 13.6.1 and Conjur OSS prior to version 1.22.1 may be affected. Conjur OSS version 1.22.1 and Secrets Manager, Self-Hosted versions 13.5.1 and 13.6.1 fix the issue.

Conjur provides secrets management and application identity for infrastructure. An authenticated attacker who is able to load policy can use the policy yaml parser to reference files on the Secrets Manager, Self-Hosted server. These references may be used as reconnaissance to better understand the folder structure of the Secrets Manager/Conjur server or to have the yaml parser include files on the server in the yaml that is processed as the policy loads. This issue affects Secrets Manager, Self-Hosted (formerly Conjur Enterprise) prior to versions 13.5.1 and 13.6.1 and Conjur OSS prior to version 1.22.1. Conjur OSS version 1.22.1 and Secrets Manager, Self-Hosted versions 13.5.1 and 13.6.1 fix the issue.

Conjur provides secrets management and application identity for infrastructure. Missing validations in Secrets Manager, Self-Hosted allows authenticated attackers to inject resources into the database and to bypass permission checks. This issue affects Secrets Manager, Self-Hosted (formerly Conjur Enterprise) prior to versions 13.5.1 and 13.6.1 and Conjur OSS prior to version 1.22.1. Conjur OSS version 1.22.1 and Secrets Manager, Self-Hosted versions 13.5.1 and 13.6.1 fix the issue.

Conjur provides secrets management and application identity for infrastructure. Conjur OSS versions 1.19.5 through 1.21.1 and Secrets Manager, Self-Hosted (formerly known as Conjur Enterprise) 13.1 through 13.4.1 are vulnerable to remote code execution An authenticated attacker who can inject secrets or templates into the Secrets Manager, Self-Hosted database could take advantage of an exposed API endpoint to execute arbitrary Ruby code within the Secrets Manager process. This issue affects both Secrets Manager, Self-Hosted (formerly Conjur Enterprise) and Conjur OSS. Conjur OSS version 1.21.2 and Secrets Manager, Self-Hosted version 13.5 fix the issue.

Conjur provides secrets management and application identity for infrastructure. Conjur OSS versions 1.19.5 through 1.22.0 and Secrets Manager, Self-Hosted (formerly known as Conjur Enterprise) 13.1 through 13.5 and 13.6 are vulnerable to bypass of the IAM authenticator. An attacker who can manipulate the headers signed by AWS can take advantage of a malformed regular expression to redirect the authentication validation request that Secrets Manager, Self-Hosted sends to AWS to a malicious server controlled by the attacker. This redirection could result in a bypass of the Secrets Manager, Self-Hosted IAM Authenticator, granting the attacker the permissions granted to the client whose request was manipulated. This issue affects both Secrets Manager, Self-Hosted (formerly Conjur Enterprise) and Conjur OSS. Conjur OSS version 1.22.1 and Secrets Manager, Self-Hosted versions 13.5.1 and 13.6.1 fix the issue.

It is possible to inject HTML code into the page content using the "content" field in the "Application definition" page.

Application does not limit the number or frequency of user interactions, such as the number of incoming requests. At the "/EPMUI/VfManager.asmx/ChangePassword" endpoint it is possible to perform a brute force attack on the current password in use.

In the "/EPMUI/ModalDlgHandler.ashx?value=showReadonlyDlg" endpoint, it is possible to inject code in the "modalDlgMsgInternal" parameter via POST, which is then executed in the browser. The risk of exploiting vulnerability is reduced due to the required additional bypassing the Content-Security-Policy policy

The application or its infrastructure allows for IP address spoofing by providing its own value in the "X-Forwarded-For" header. Thus, the action logging mechanism in the application loses accountability

An attacker with access to the Administration panel, specifically the "Role Management" tab, can inject code by adding a new role in the "name" field. It should be noted, however, that the risk of exploiting vulnerability is reduced due to the required additional error that allows bypassing the Content-Security-Policy policy, which mitigates JS code execution while still allowing HTML injection.

PVWA (Password Vault Web Access) in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager Self-Hosted before 14.4 does not properly address environment issues that can contribute to Host header injection.

In CyberArk Viewfinity 5.5.10.95 and 6.x before 6.1.1.220, a low privilege user can escalate to an administrative user via a bug within the "add printer" option.

CyberArk Identity versions up to and including 22.1 in the 'StartAuthentication' resource, exposes the response header 'X-CFY-TX-TM'. In certain configurations, that response header contains different, predictable value ranges which can be used to determine whether a user exists in the tenant.

CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) through 11.5.3.328 before 2021-12-20 allows a local user to gain elevated privileges via a Trojan horse Procmon64.exe in the user's Temp directory.

An inadequate encryption vulnerability discovered in CyberArk Credential Provider before 12.1 may lead to Information Disclosure. An attacker may realistically have enough information that the number of possible keys (for a credential file) is only one, and the number is usually not higher than 2^36.

The effective key space used to encrypt the cache in CyberArk Credential Provider prior to 12.1 has low entropy, and under certain conditions a local malicious user can obtain the plaintext of cache files.

The user identification mechanism used by CyberArk Credential Provider prior to 12.1 is susceptible to a local host race condition, leading to password disclosure.

CyberArk Identity 21.5.131, when handling an invalid authentication attempt, sometimes reveals whether the username is valid. In certain authentication policy configurations with MFA, the API response length can be used to differentiate between a valid user and an invalid one (aka Username Enumeration). Response differentiation enables attackers to enumerate usernames of valid application users. Attackers can use this information to leverage brute-force and dictionary attacks in order to discover valid account information such as passwords.
