XSS
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

Impact

The Pomerium user info page (at /.pomerium) unintentionally included serialized OAuth2 access and ID tokens from the logged-in user's session. These tokens are not intended to be exposed to end users.

This issue may be more severe in the presence of an XSS vulnerability in an upstream application proxied through Pomerium. If an attacker could insert a malicious script onto a web page proxied through Pomerium, that script could access these tokens by making a request to the /.pomerium endpoint.

Upstream applications that authenticate only the ID token may be vulnerable to user impersonation using a token obtained in this manner.

Note that an OAuth2 access token or ID token by itself is not sufficient to hijack a user's Pomerium session. Upstream applications should not be vulnerable to user impersonation via these tokens provided: - the application verifies the Pomerium JWT for each request, - the connection between Pomerium and the application is secured by mTLS, - or the connection between Pomerium and the application is otherwise secured at the network layer.

Patches Patched in Pomerium v0.26.1.

Workarounds None

Infoleak
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H

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.

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Pomerium is an open source identity-aware access proxy. In affected versions changes to the OIDC claims of a user after initial login are not reflected in policy evaluation when using allowedidpclaims as part of policy. If using allowedidpclaims and a user's claims are changed, Pomerium can make incorrect authorization decisions. This issue has been resolved in v0.15.6. For users unable to upgrade clear data on databroker service by clearing redis or restarting the in-memory databroker to force claims to be updated.

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N

Pomerium is an open source identity-aware access proxy. Envoy, which Pomerium is based on, contains two authorization related vulnerabilities CVE-2021-32777 and CVE-2021-32779. This may lead to incorrect routing or authorization policy decisions. With specially crafted requests, incorrect authorization or routing decisions may be made by Pomerium. Pomerium v0.14.8 and v0.15.1 contain an upgraded envoy binary with these vulnerabilities patched. This issue can only be triggered when using path prefix based policy. Removing any such policies should provide mitigation.

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Pomerium is an open source identity-aware access proxy. Envoy, which Pomerium is based on, incorrectly handles resetting of HTTP/2 streams with excessive complexity. This can lead to high CPU utilization when a large number of streams are reset. This can result in a DoS condition. Pomerium versions 0.14.8 and 0.15.1 contain an upgraded envoy binary with this vulnerability patched.

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H

Pomerium is an open source identity-aware access proxy. Envoy, which Pomerium is based on, can abnormally terminate if an H/2 GOAWAY and SETTINGS frame are received in the same IO event. This can lead to a DoS in the presence of untrusted upstream servers. 0.15.1 contains an upgraded envoy binary with this vulnerability patched. If only trusted upstreams are configured, there is not substantial risk of this condition being triggered.

Severity

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N

Impact Some API endpoints under /.pomerium/ do not verify parameters with pomeriumsignature. This could allow modifying parameters intended to be trusted to Pomerium.

The issue mainly affects routes responsible for sign in/out, but does not introduce an authentication bypass.

Specific Go Packages Affected github.com/pomerium/pomerium/authenticate

Patches Patched in v0.13.4

Infoleak
AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N

Impact Using programmatic access on protected sites, one can get a signed login URL with pomeriumredirecturi set to an arbitrary URL. Then, if the user has already logged into Pomerium, they will be redirected to the specified pomeriumredirecturi with a JWT attached. This allows an outside attacker to get a signed login URL that, upon visiting it, will redirect a victim to the attacker’s site. This creates an issue of Open Redirect and, more seriously, JWT leakage.

With a leaked JWT, the attacker will be able to unveil the victim’s identity (.e.g. email address) by supplying the JWT to the authenticate service or verify.pomerium.com. In addition, if an application integrating Pomerium only verifies the iss claim and others but not the aud claim, the attacker will be able to access it as the victim.
