NVD · unedited
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), Improperly Controlled Modification of Dynamically-Determined Object Attributes, Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts vulnerability in YugaByte, Inc. Yugabyte Managed allows Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs, Communication Channel Manipulation, Authentication Abuse.This issue affects Yugabyte Managed: from 2.0.0.0 through 2.13.0.0

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Multiple critical vulnerabilities in Yugabyte Managed allow Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), improper access control bypassing ACLs, and exploitation through authentication abuse. These combined issues enable attackers to make the service perform unintended requests, access constrained functionality, and manipulate authentication mechanisms.

MitigationUpgrade Yugabyte Managed to version 2.13.0.1 or later. If unable to upgrade immediately, implement network segmentation and restrict external access to the management plane while monitoring for unusual authentication patterns.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm you are using Yugabyte Managed
    Log into the Yugabyte Managed console or check your subscription documentation to verify you are using the managed cloud service rather than a self-managed YugabyteDB deployment.
    Affected if You are using the Yugabyte Managed cloud service.
  2. Check your Yugabyte Managed version
    Navigate to the Yugabyte Managed console dashboard, typically under Settings > About or Account > Overview, and locate the version information displayed for your managed cluster.
    Affected if The displayed version is between 2.0 and 2.13 inclusive.
  3. Verify network exposure of management plane
    Review your network configuration and firewall rules to determine whether the Yugabyte Managed management plane (the control plane interface accessed via the console) is accessible from external networks or untrusted IP ranges.
    Affected if The management plane is exposed to the internet or untrusted networks without proper network segmentation.
  4. Review authentication logs for anomalies
    Examine authentication and access logs from the Yugabyte Managed console for signs of unauthorized access attempts, unusual authentication patterns, or requests originating from unexpected sources.
    Affected if You observe authentication anomalies or unauthorized access attempts in your logs.

You are affected if you are running Yugabyte Managed versions 2.0 through 2.13 and your management plane is network-accessible to potentially malicious actors.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

dbcve · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to a release after 2.13
Interim mitigation

Upgrade Yugabyte Managed to version 2.13.0.1 or later. If unable to upgrade immediately, implement network segmentation and restrict external access to the management plane while monitoring for unusual authentication patterns.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

YugabyteDB Managed version 2.14.0.0 or later

  1. Upgrade YugabyteDB Managed to version 2.14.0.0 or later to remediate this vulnerability
  2. If using self-managed YugabyteDB, ensure you upgrade to the corresponding fixed version (2.14.x or later)
  3. After upgrade, verify that authentication mechanisms are functioning correctly
  4. Review access control lists (ACLs) and ensure proper constraints are in place
  5. Test for SSRF vulnerabilities in any custom integrations or API endpoints
Caveat Review release notes for any configuration or API changes between 2.13 and 2.14
