Description

Impact

Hidde Smit from Cyber Eagle has discovered an User Enumeration flaw in Harbor. The issue is present in the "/users" api endpoint. This endpoint is supposed to be restricted to administrators. This restriction is able to be bypassed and information can be obtained via the "search" functionality.

Non-administrator users (such as those created via self-registration) can list all usernames and user IDs by sending a GET request to /api/users/search with parameter "username" and value "_", as follows:

curl -X GET "https://<host>/api/users/search?username=_" -H "accept: application/json" --user <user>:<password>

The vulnerability was immediately fixed by the Harbor team and all supported versions were patched. With the patched versions of Harbor, the username is required for search and we have removed the support for querying by email.
