- CWE-290 - Authentication Bypass by Spoofing
Summary
Centrifugo is an open-source scalable real-time messaging server. Prior to 6.9.0, Centrifugo copies the client-controlled protocol.ConnectRequest.headers map through OnClientConnecting in internal/client/handler.go, ConnectEvent.Headers, and SetEmulatedHeadersToContext. The requestHeaders path in internal/proxy/http.go, the requestMetadata path in internal/proxy/grpc.go, and the Consume path in internal/unigrpc/grpc.go can forward an allowlisted value as a trusted backend header or metadata value. A remote client can spoof a header such as x-trusted-user for connect, refresh, subscribe, publish, RPC, and related proxy calls when the backend relies on that header for authentication or authorization. The unidirectional gRPC transport has no transport-level HTTP header that can override the emulated value. This issue is fixed in version 6.9.0.
