Description

Missing authorization in the configuration cascade operations of the Collaboration Server in Unblu inc. Unblu Spark 7.0 through 8.36.1-hotfix.0, on on-premises and cloud deployments, allows an authenticated remote attacker to read and change configuration properties of entities they aren't authorized to access, including other users, other accounts and, in Unblu Cloud, other customers' accounts, via configuration read and write operations that target those entities. The Collaboration Server doesn't check whether the user reading or changing configuration has access to the entity the configuration belongs to. With certain non-default configuration validation settings, a registered user can additionally write configuration properties they aren't allowed to edit, in any scope. Exploitation requires an authenticated session but no user interaction.

Executive Summary

Missing authorization in the configuration cascade operations of Unblu Spark 7.0 through 8.36.1-hotfix.0 allows an authenticated remote attacker to read and change configuration properties of unauthorized entities, including other users, accounts, or other customers in cloud deployments. The Collaboration Server fails to verify user access rights for the targeted entities during configuration operations.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability requires detecting unauthorized configuration changes or access attempts in the Unblu Collaboration Server. Monitor logs for unusual configuration read/write operations, especially targeting entities outside the user's scope. Check for requests to endpoints handling configuration cascade operations with non-default validation settings.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with valid credentials could access or modify sensitive configuration data they are not authorized to view or edit. This includes reading or altering settings for other users, accounts, or even other customers in cloud environments. Exploitation requires only an authenticated session and no user interaction.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access or modification of sensitive data, violating confidentiality and integrity requirements under GDPR and HIPAA. Non-compliance risks include data breaches, regulatory penalties, and loss of trust due to unauthorized exposure or tampering with protected information.

Mitigation Strategies

Apply the latest security patches or hotfixes provided by Unblu for versions 7.0 through 8.36.1-hotfix.0. Ensure the Collaboration Server properly validates authorization for configuration read and write operations. Review and restrict non-default configuration validation settings that may allow unauthorized writes.
