What is CVE-2023-50253?

CVE-2023-50253 is a critical missing authorization vulnerability in labring laf, published on 3 Jan 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

Official description

Laf is a cloud development platform. In the Laf version design, the log uses communication with k8s to quickly retrieve logs from the container without the need for additional storage. However, in version 1.0.0-beta.13 and prior, this interface does not verify the permissions of the pod, which allows authenticated users to obtain any pod logs under the same namespace through this method, thereby obtaining sensitive information printed in the logs. As of time of publication, no known patched versions exist.

Weakness: CWE-532, CWE-200
