Description Devinim 2017-03-15 16:30:07 UTC
In the opac-memberentry.pl authnotrequired area is 1 by default and this yields a security vulnerabilities.

You may get all detailed information of a user without giving username/password.
Comment 1 Jonathan Druart 2017-03-15 17:16:51 UTC
Confirmed!
Working on a patch, we will need a very quick security releases for all stable releases.
Comment 2 Jonathan Druart 2017-03-15 17:27:36 UTC
So basically it comes from:
C4::Auth l.920 $userid = $q_userid;

$q_userid is set previously to the 'userid' CGI param.

We end up here if authonotrequired is set AND CGISESSID does not exist

Sounds like the bug exists since bug 11077.

Bug 18275: Do not rely on CGI param userid to log a user in if auth is not required

From opac/opac-memberentry.pl, authnotrequired is set.
That means a patron can access the page without being logged in. It is
used on this page for the self registration feature.

From C4::Auth::get_template_and_user, we have
  $userid = $q_userid;
$q_userid is previously set to the 'userid' CGI param.

We end up here if authonotrequired is set AND CGISESSID does not exist.

Test plan:

Comment 10 Martin Renvoize 2017-03-15 18:48:03 UTC
What a nasty one.. well done getting a patch for it so quick.

Code looks good to me.. tested with shibboleth, ldap and local logins to the extent of my test setup.. not got a CAS server to test against but it doesn't look as though it should interrupt anything there.

One minor QA comment would be the slight lose/butchering of the final comment line by the patch.. but the comment was plain wrong before this patch too so that can be a followup for whenever someone finally gets their head around this in it's entirety.

Passed QA

Comment 13 Kyle M Hall 2017-03-20 13:00:21 UTC
Pushed to master for 17.05, thanks Jonathan, Tomas!
Comment 14 Katrin Fischer 2017-03-20 20:48:41 UTC
This patch has been pushed to 16.11.x and is part of the security release 16.11.05.
Comment 15 Marcel de Rooy 2017-03-22 13:43:05 UTC
Somehow it confused me to see $userid with cas and $q_userid with shib:

( $return, $cardnumber, $retuserid ) = checkpw( $dbh, $q_userid, undef, $query );
[...]
( $return, $cardnumber, $retuserid ) = checkpw( $dbh, $userid, $password, $query, $type );

If I am not mistaken, cas does not look at the userid at all. Would it be better to replace $userid in the last statement by undef? Should not make a difference, but for completeness?
Comment 16 Katrin Fischer 2017-03-22 13:45:01 UTC
Can't talk about the code, but your userid in Koha must match your userid in CAS for it all to work.
Comment 17 Marcel de Rooy 2017-03-22 13:46:26 UTC

Well, this is about the code.

To clarify: the code does not look to the userid, it looks at the ticket parameter here.
Comment 19 Jonathan Druart 2017-03-22 14:01:48 UTC
Yes Marcel, reading the code it makes sense to me to replace it by undef (or at least $q_userid for consistency).
Comment 20 Mason James 2017-04-03 14:35:47 UTC
Pushed to 16.05.x, for 16.05.11 release
