Not scored
Published
Check this codebase for GHSA-j859-pmrq-9q6c and fix it if it is affected.
What it is: GHSA-j859-pmrq-9q6c is a vulnerability in bottlerocket/update-operator, published on 9 Feb 2023. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of GHSA-j859-pmrq-9q6c in the wild and no public exploit code.
Affected packages and fixed versions:
- bottlerocket/update-operator (crates.io): affected all versions; fixed in 1.1.0
Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.

What is GHSA-j859-pmrq-9q6c?
GHSA-j859-pmrq-9q6c is a vulnerability in bottlerocket/update-operator, published on 9 Feb 2023. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
A timing based side channel exists in the OpenSSL RSA decryption implementation which could enable a recovery of plaintext from across the network. This affects all RSA padding modes. A server agent compiled with OpenSSL could be made to give up plaintext payloads over the network, but this would require a large amount of malicious payloads from a third party actor as trial messages. OpenSSL removed in bottlerocket version 1.1.0 in favor of Rust-based TLS using rustls.
