Official description
A flaw was found in Quarkus REST Data Panache. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass security controls on generated endpoints. When a developer customizes a specific operation using @MethodProperties without explicitly re-declaring security roles, the code generator silently drops class-level security requirements. This results in the affected endpoint defaulting to permissive, unauthenticated access, potentially leading to unauthorized information disclosure or data modification.

The underlying weakness: Direct Request
The web application does not adequately enforce appropriate authorization on all restricted URLs, scripts, or files.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Apply appropriate access control authorizations for each access to all restricted URLs, scripts or files.
- Consider using MVC based frameworks such as Struts.
Timeline
- CVE record published.
- CISA published its SSVC assessment (exploitation: none, automatable: yes, technical impact: total).
- Record last changed materially (score, affected products, status or references).
