SciTokens: Authorization Bypass via Incorrect Scope Path Prefix Checking

Platform

python

Component

scitokens

Fixed in

1.9.6

SciTokens is a reference library for generating and using SciTokens. Prior to version 1.9.6, the Enforcer incorrectly validates scope paths by using a simple prefix match (startswith). This allows a token with access to a specific path (e.g., /john) to also access sibling paths that start with the same prefix (e.g., /johnathan, /johnny), which is an Authorization Bypass. This issue has been patched in version 1.9.6.

How to fix

Actualice la biblioteca SciTokens a la versión 1.9.6 o superior. Esta versión corrige la validación incorrecta de las rutas de alcance, evitando el bypass de autorización. Puede actualizar usando el gestor de paquetes de Python (pip).
