# Duplicate Advisory: Privilege Escalation in Eclipse hawkBit DDI allows Tenant-Isolated Firmware Exfiltration

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/GHSA-f3j8-8ggq-f9x2 (this .md is for agents)

This advisory is withdrawn as a duplicate of GHSA-92r3-p8c2-3fpx; the original text says that in hawkBit 1.0.3 and earlier, an authenticated device can bypass object-level checks in the DDI controller and download any firmware artifact in its tenant. A related lower-severity flaw lets such a device list artifact metadata without assignment checks.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## Affected

- maven:org.eclipse.hawkbit:hawkbit-ddi-resource affected < 1.0.4 fixed 1.0.4

## How to check

- Check the version of `org.eclipse.hawkbit:hawkbit-ddi-resource` in your Maven dependencies, for example with `mvn dependency:tree`
- Confirm whether any hawkBit instance you run exposes the DDI controller API to devices
- See GHSA-92r3-p8c2-3fpx for the current advisory text

## Fix

- `org.eclipse.hawkbit:hawkbit-ddi-resource` `1.0.4` (affected below `1.0.4`)

## From the sources

### Duplicate Advisory
This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-92r3-p8c2-3fpx. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

### Original Description
In Eclipse hawkBit versions 1.0.3 and prior, a privilege escalation vulnerability (CWE-284 / CWE-862) has been identified in the Direct Device Integration (DDI) Controller.



This vulnerability allows an authenticated device to escalate its permissions and bypass the strict boundaries of its assigned updates. Under normal operation, a device should be restricted strictly to the specific firmware artifacts explicitly assigned to it. However, this flaw enables any authenticated device to bypass this restriction and download any firmware artifact within the same tenant.



This is not an authentication bypass; the requesting device must possess valid credentials for its respective tenant. Instead, the issue stems from a flaw in object-level authorization validation.



A related, lower-severity helper issue exists in the listing software modules artifacts metadata endpoint. This endpoint does not enforce assignment checks, enabling an authenticated device to list and enumerate available firmware artifacts, which can facilitate targeted exfiltration using the main download authorization bypass.
