What is CVE-2023-25562?
CVE-2023-25562 is a medium-severity authentication bypass vulnerability in datahub-project datahub, published on 10 Feb 2023. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
DataHub is an open-source metadata platform. In versions of DataHub prior to 0.8.45 Session cookies are only cleared on new sign-in events and not on logout events. Any authentication checks using the `AuthUtils.hasValidSessionCookie()` method could be bypassed by using a cookie from a logged out session, as a result any logged out session cookie may be accepted as valid and therefore lead to an authentication bypass to the system. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this issue. This vulnerability was discovered and reported by the GitHub Security lab and is tracked as GHSL-2022-083.
Weakness: CWE-613
