What is CVE-2024-8642?
CVE-2024-8642 is a medium-severity authentication bypass vulnerability in Eclipse EDC Connector, published on 11 Sep 2024. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.
Official description
In Eclipse Dataspace Components, from version 0.5.0 and before version 0.9.0, the ConsumerPullTransferTokenValidationApiController does not check for token validity (expiry, not-before, issuance date), which can allow an attacker to bypass the check for token expiration. The issue requires to have a dataplane configured to support http proxy consumer pull AND include the module "transfer-data-plane". The affected code was marked deprecated from the version 0.6.0 in favour of Dataplane Signaling. In 0.9.0 the vulnerable code has been removed.
