Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
`managementServer.CreateSchematic` (`internal/backend/grpc/schematics.go`) passes the caller-controlled `TalosVersion` field directly to `imageFactoryClient.OverlaysVersions`, which embeds it verbatim into a `fmt.Sprintf("/version/%s/overlays/official", talosVersion)` path template. `url.URL.JoinPath` resolves any `../` sequences in that path, allowing an authenticated Operator to rewrite the URL path and force Omni to issue HTTP GET requests to unintended paths on the configured image-factory server. Error body content from those unintended endpoints is returned to the caller.
## Severity
- **Attack Vector:** Network: exploited via the gRPC `CreateSchematic` API endpoint.
- **Attack Complexity:** Low: once the attacker holds an Operator credential and has identified a media ID with an overlay, exploitation is a single API call.
- **Privileges Required:** High: `role.Operator` is required, which has administrative capabilities on Omni.
- **User Interaction:** None.
- **Scope:** Unchanged: the traversal is constrained to the configured image-factory host; the attacker cannot redirect Omni to an arbitrary external server.
- **Confidentiality Impact:** Low: error body content from unintended image-factory endpoints is reflected back to the operator, potentially leaking server-internal information.
- **Integrity Impact:** None: only HTTP GET requests are issued; no write operations are performed.
- **Availability Impact:** None.
## Impact
- **Same-host path traversal**: An authenticated Operator can force Omni to issue GET requests to arbitrary URL paths on the configured image-factory server, bypassing the intended versioned overlay API structure.
- **Error-body disclosure**: HTTP error responses from unintended image-factory endpoints are reflected back to the operator, potentially leaking server-internal diagnostics or sensitive path content.
- **Internal network probing**: In deployments using a private image-factory instance on an internal network, the attacker can probe endpoint existence and partial responses through error-text differences.
- **Depth control**: By varying the number of `../` prefixes in `talosVersion`, the attacker can reach any path hierarchy on the image-factory host.
