Summary
A flaw was found in the signature verification logic of noobaa-core, the core component of the NooBaa Multicloud Object Gateway. The issue occurs when the service processes S3 presigned URLs using Signature Version 4 (SigV4). Due to improper validation, the service fails to reject requests containing unsigned x-amz- headers, instead simply dropping them from the signature calculation. This allows an attacker who possesses a valid presigned PUT URL to add an unsigned x-amz-copy-source header, effectively converting a simple upload into a CopyObject operation. This can lead to unauthorized access and copying of any data the original signer is permitted to reach across the entire storage system.
