Recent Linux Foundation Dex Security Vulnerabilities
Dex is an identity service that uses OpenID Connect to drive authentication for other apps
CVE-2024-23656
7.5 - High
- January 25, 2024
Dex is an identity service that uses OpenID Connect to drive authentication for other apps. Dex 2.37.0 serves HTTPS with insecure TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1. `cmd/dex/serve.go` line 425 seemingly sets TLS 1.2 as minimum version, but the whole `tlsConfig` is ignored after `TLS cert reloader` was introduced in v2.37.0. Configured cipher suites are not respected either. This issue is fixed in Dex 2.38.0.
Inadequate Encryption Strength
Dex is an identity service that uses OpenID Connect to drive authentication for other apps
CVE-2022-39222
6.5 - Medium
- October 06, 2022
Dex is an identity service that uses OpenID Connect to drive authentication for other apps. Dex instances with public clients (and by extension, clients accepting tokens issued by those Dex instances) are affected by this vulnerability if they are running a version prior to 2.35.0. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by making a victim navigate to a malicious website and guiding them through the OIDC flow, stealing the OAuth authorization code in the process. The authorization code then can be exchanged by the attacker for a token, gaining access to applications accepting that token. Version 2.35.0 has introduced a fix for this issue. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this issue.
AuthZ
A vulnerability exists in the SAML connector of the github.com/dexidp/dex library used to process SAML Signature Validation
CVE-2020-27847
9.8 - Critical
- May 28, 2021
A vulnerability exists in the SAML connector of the github.com/dexidp/dex library used to process SAML Signature Validation. This flaw allows an attacker to bypass SAML authentication. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. This flaw affects dex versions before 2.27.0.
