Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Hail (affected versions not specified)
Description
Hail is an open-source, general-purpose, Python-based data analysis tool with additional data types and methods for working with genomic data. Hail relies on OpenID Connect (OIDC) email addresses from ID tokens to verify the validity of a user's domain. However, because users have the ability to change their email address, they could create accounts and use resources in clusters that they should not have access to. For example, a user could create a Microsoft or Google account and then change their email to
test@example.org. This account can then be used to create a Hail Batch account in Hail Batch clusters whose organization domain is example.org. The attacker is not able to access private data or impersonate another user, but they would have the ability to run jobs if Hail Batch billing projects are enabled and create Azure Tenants if they have Azure Active Directory Administrator access.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
Apply the patch to prevent third-party attackers from creating accounts.
Audit your users list for user accounts whose login ids are not valid login ids with your identity provider. Delete such users.
