- Summary
- Ory Hydra has a SQL injection via forged pagination tokens
- Details
-
Description
Following Admin APIs in Ory Hydra are vulnerable to SQL injection due to flaws in its pagination implementation:
- listOAuth2Clients
- listOAuth2ConsentSessions
- listTrustedOAuth2JwtGrantIssuers
Pagination tokens are encrypted using the secret configured in
secrets.pagination. If this value is not set, Hydra falls back to usingsecrets.system. An attacker who knows this secret can craft their own tokens, including malicious tokens that lead to SQL injection.Preconditions
This issue can be exploited when the following conditions are met:
- One or more admin APIs listed above are directly or indirectly accessible to the attacker
- The attacker can pass a raw pagination token to the affected API
- The configuration value
secrets.paginationis set and known to the attacker, orsecrets.paginationis not set andsecrets.systemis known to the attacker
Impact
An attacker can execute arbitrary SQL queries through forged pagination tokens.
Mitigation
As a first line of defense, immediately configure a custom value for
secrets.paginationby generating a cryptographically secure random secret, for example:openssl rand -base64 32Next, upgrade Hydra to the fixed version as soon as possible.
