Description
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.
