Summary

The octo-sts app before 0.11.2 returns trust policy details to callers whose OIDC token does not satisfy the policy. Its error messages include the policy's issuer, subject, audience and claim values (CWE-209). An attacker with any validly signed OIDC token, such as one from a repository they own, can read a target policy's matching rules by guessing its owner, repository and identity name. The flaw does not allow minting tokens or bypassing a policy.

Description from the CNA

Octo STS (github.com/octo-sts/app) before 0.11.2 returns trust policy configuration to callers whose OIDC token does not satisfy that policy. TrustPolicy.CheckToken included the policy's issuer, subject and audience values or patterns and claim_pattern names and regular expressions in its PermissionDenied errors, which Exchange returned verbatim. Exchange also selected the GitHub App installation before checking the token, so errors from resolving the policy's app or app_pattern pin were returned to callers the policy does not trust. An attacker who holds any validly signed OIDC token, such as a GitHub Actions token from a repository they own, and who knows or guesses a target owner/repo and identity name can read that policy's matching rules, even when the policy is stored in a private repository. These rules often name internal repositories, branches, environments or cloud account identifiers. The issue does not allow minting tokens or bypassing a trust policy. This issue is fixed in 0.11.2.
