Fides is an open-source privacy engineering platform for managing data privacy requests and privacy regulations. The Fides webserver is vulnerable to a type of Denial of Service (DoS) attack. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to upload zip files containing malicious SVG bombs (similar to a billion laughs attack), causing resource exhaustion in Admin UI browser tabs and creating a persistent denial of service of the ‘new connector’ page (datastore-connection/new
). This vulnerability affects Fides versions 2.11.0
through 2.15.1
. Exploitation is limited to users with elevated privileges with the CONNECTOR_TEMPLATE_REGISTER
scope, which includes root users and users with the owner role. The vulnerability has been patched in Fides version 2.16.0
. Users are advised to upgrade to this version or later to secure their systems against this threat. There is no known workaround to remediate this vulnerability without upgrading.
