Summary

In Eclipse Kura versions 5.4.0 through 5.6.2, the Identity REST APIs (identity/v1, and identity/v2 since 5.5.0, provided by org.eclipse.kura.rest.identity.provider) do not check identity and permission management requests against the permissions of the requesting identity. An authenticated identity holding the rest.identity permission, but not kura.admin, can assign any permission to any identity, including kura.admin to itself. It can also change the password of, or delete, identities holding more privileges than its own, including administrators, and create or delete permissions. This allows escalation to full administrative privileges and can lock legitimate administrators out of the device. The issue is fixed in Eclipse Kura 5.6.3.

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.

The maintainers of eclipse-kura/kura published their own advisory on GitHub. Reviewed sources take precedence over it.
