Cortex's Alertmanager can expose local files content via specially crafted config
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Go | github.com/cortexproject/cortex | >= 1.14.0, < 1.14.1 | 1.14.1 |
| Go | github.com/cortexproject/cortex | >= 1.13.0, < 1.13.2 | 1.13.2 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
A local file inclusion vulnerability exists in Cortex versions v1.13.0, v1.13.1 and v1.14.0, where a malicious actor could remotely read local files as a result of parsing maliciously crafted Alertmanager configurations when submitted to the [Alertmanager Set Configuration API](https://cortexmetrics.io/docs/api/#set-alertmanager-configuration). Only users of the Cortex Alertmanager service using `-experimental.alertmanager.enable-api` or `enable_api: true` are affected.
### Specific Go Packages Affected
github.com/cortexproject/cortex/pkg/alertmanager
### Patches
Affected Cortex users are advised to upgrade to versions 1.13.2 or 1.14.1.
### Workarounds
Patching is ultimately advised. Using out-of-bound validation, Cortex administrators may reject Alertmanager configurations containing the `api_key_file` setting in the `opsgenie_configs` section and `opsgenie_api_key_file` in the `global` section before sending to the [Set Alertmanager Configuration API](https://cortexmetrics.io/docs/api/#set-alertmanager-configuration) as a workaround.
