Scraparr is a Prometheus Exporter for various components of the *arr Suite. From 3.0.0-beta to before 3.0.2, when the Readarr integration was enabled, the exporter exposed the configured Readarr API key as the alias metric label value. Users were affected only if all of the following conditions are met, Readarr scraping feature was enabled and no alias configured, the exporter’s /metrics endpoint was accessible to external or unauthorized users, and the Readarr instance is externally accessible. If the /metrics endpoint was publicly accessible, the Readarr API key could have been disclosed via exported metrics data. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.0.2.
The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information.
There are many different kinds of mistakes that introduce information exposures. The severity of the error can range widely, depending on the context in which the product operates, the type of sensitive information that is revealed, and the benefits it may provide to an attacker. Some kinds of sensitive information include:
Information might be sensitive to different parties, each of which may have their own expectations for whether the information should be protected. These parties include:
Information exposures can occur in different ways:
It is common practice to describe any loss of confidentiality as an “information exposure,” but this can lead to overuse of CWE-200 in CWE mapping. From the CWE perspective, loss of confidentiality is a technical impact that can arise from dozens of different weaknesses, such as insecure file permissions or out-of-bounds read. CWE-200 and its lower-level descendants are intended to cover the mistakes that occur in behaviors that explicitly manage, store, transfer, or cleanse sensitive information.
