Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.

What to do

  1. Check which version of bambuddy you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
  2. Read the advisory on github.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
  3. Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description

Bambuddy is a self-hosted print archive and management system for Bambu Lab 3D printers. Starting in version 0.1.6 and prior to version 0.2.4.4, a fail-open in the authentication code allows any attacker to bypass authentication by flooding a public endpoint to exhaust resources causing database access to fail, granting unauthenticated access to all protected endpoints. Version 0.2.4.4 patches the issue.

The underlying weakness: Not Failing Securely

When the product encounters an error condition or failure, its design requires it to fall back to a state that is less secure than other options that are available, such as selecting the weakest encryption algorithm or using the most permissive access control restrictions.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Subdivide and allocate resources and components so that a failure in one part does not affect the entire product.
