CVE-2024-47077
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedauthentik is an open-source identity provider. Prior to versions 2024.8.3 and 2024.6.5, access tokens issued to one application can be stolen by that application and used to impersonate the user against any other proxy provider. Also, a user can steal an access token they were legitimately issued for one application and use it to access another application that they aren't allowed to access. Anyone who has more than one proxy provider application with different trust domains or different access control is affected. Versions 2024.8.3 and 2024.6.5 fix the issue.
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 analysisAn authorization check exists but is flawed, so it passes when it should fail. Attackers probe roles and object references to find the gap. Remediation means centralising and correctly implementing the access-control logic, then testing it against every role.

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 · scoped2024.6.52024.8.3
Upgrade to Authentik 2024.6.5 (if on < 2024.6.5) or 2024.8.3 (if on >= 2024.8.0 and < 2024.8.3)
- Identify your current Authentik version by checking the authentik version endpoint or admin interface
- If your current version is < 2024.6.5, plan an upgrade to version 2024.6.5
- If your current version is >= 2024.8.0 and < 2024.8.3, plan an upgrade to version 2024.8.3
- Follow your existing upgrade process (e.g., docker pull, helm upgrade, or package manager update)
- After upgrading, verify the new version is running: authentik version should show 2024.6.5 or 2024.8.3
- Test that proxy provider applications function correctly with the new version
