• Go github.com/treeverse/lakefs: < 1.3.1 → fixed in 1.3.1

Description

Impact When lakeFS is configured with ALL of the following: • Configuration option `auth.encrypt.secret_key` passed through environment variable • Actions enabled via configuration option `actions.enabled` (default enabled) then a user who can configure an action can impersonate any other user. Patches _Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?_ Workarounds ANY ONE of these is sufficient to prevent the issue: • Do not pass `auth.encrypt.secret_key` through an environment variable. For instance, Kubernetes users can generate the entire configuration as a secret and mount that. This is described here. • Disable actions. • Limit users allowed to configure actions.
