Potential security issue with detecting the remote host

Issue #7 closed
Andreas Purde repo owner created an issue

Currently SVG Cloud determines the baseUrl of the remote host by the provided parameters and not the JWT token.

Consequence: Somebody having access to a correctly registered client A might send a falsified requests asking for data of a different remote host B.

Likelihood: Negligible as all of the below has to be true

  • Host A has to be correctly registered (which should only work for Confluence Cloud hosts).
  • Somebody needs to have the possibility to falsify data coming from a Confluence Cloud host.
  • For a data leak this person has to guess a valid attachment ID of host B.
