Spring gRPC SecurityContext leaks across requests upon authorization failure
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maven | org.springframework.grpc:spring-grpc | < 1.0.3 | 1.0.3 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
When an authenticated user is denied access to a gRPC method, their authenticated identity remains bound to the gRPC worker thread and can be inherited by a subsequent unauthenticated request on the same thread. This may allow the subsequent user to gain escalated permissions.
Affected versions:
Spring gRPC: 1.0.0 - 1.0.2 (fixed in 1.0.3). Older, unsupported versions are also affected.
