CVE-2020-15170
Potential access control security issue in apollo-adminservice
Description
### Impact If users expose apollo-adminservice to internet(which is not recommended), there are potential security issues since apollo-adminservice is designed to work in intranet and it doesn't have built-in access control. Malicious hackers may access apollo-adminservice apis directly to access/edit the application's configurations. ### Patches Access control for admin service was added in #3233 and was released in [v1.7.1](https://github.com/ctripcorp/apollo/releases/tag/v1.7.1). ### Workarounds To fix the potential issue without upgrading, simply follow the advice that do not expose apollo-adminservice to internet. ### Credits [Lexu](https://github.com/lllllx) reported the issue and provided the required information to reproduce it. ### References [Apollo Security Guidence](https://github.com/ctripcorp/apollo/wiki/Apollo%E4%BD%BF%E7%94%A8%E6%8C%87%E5%8D%97#71-%E5%AE%89%E5%85%A8%E7%9B%B8%E5%85%B3) ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an [issue](https://github.com/ctripcorp/apollo/issues) * Email to one of the active [project maintainers](https://github.com/ctripcorp/apollo/graphs/contributors)
