NI MeasurementLink Python Services Improper Access Restriction vulnerability

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published Oct 5, 2023 in ni/measurement-plugin-python • Updated Nov 9, 2023

Package

pip ni-measurementlink-service (pip)

Affected versions

< 1.1.1
>= 1.2.0.dev0, < 1.2.0

Patched versions

1.1.1
1.2.0

Description

Impact

An improper access restriction in NI MeasurementLink Python services could allow an attacker on an adjacent network to reach services exposed on localhost. These services were previously thought to be unreachable outside of the node. This affects measurement plug-ins written in Python using version 1.1.0 of the ni-measurementlink-service Python package and all previous versions.

Patches

Upgrade all Python measurement plug-ins to use ni-measurementlink-service version 1.1.1 or later.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
