AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N
Unauthenticated network spoofing (AV:N/PR:N) but AC:H because the attacker must obtain a valid in-scope public cert and the deployment must lack trusted-proxy restriction; co-tenant access gives C:H, minor I:L, no availability impact.

Steeltoe is an open source project that provides a collection of libraries that helps users build cloud-native applications. Prior to 4.3.0, Steeltoe.Security.Authorization.Certificate deployments using AddOrgAndSpacePolicies() and UseCertificateAuthorization() trust the public certificate supplied in the X-Client-Cert request header without proving possession of the corresponding private key. Common Cloud Foundry routers do not remove this header from inbound requests. When inbound requests are not restricted to a known trusted proxy source IP, an attacker who obtains the public certificate of an application instance in the target organization or space and can reach the application can spoof X-Client-Cert to bypass the SameOrg and SameSpace policies for the certificate validity period. This issue is fixed in version 4.3.0.
AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass in Steeltoe.Security.Authorization.Certificate (Steeltoe prior to 4.3.0) lets remote unauthenticated attackers spoof the X-Client-Cert header to defeat the SameOrg and SameSpace authorization policies, gaining access to resources belonging to another organization or space. The flaw is that AddOrgAndSpacePolicies() combined with UseCertificateAuthorization() trusts a client-supplied public certificate without verifying proof of possession of the matching private key, and common Cloud Foundry routers pass the header through to the application. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires a Steeltoe.Security.Authorization.Certificate deployment (prior to 4.3.0) configured with both AddOrgAndSpacePolicies() and UseCertificateAuthorization(); AND ingress that does NOT restrict inbound requests to a known trusted proxy source IP (so the client-supplied X-Client-Cert header is honored); AND the attacker must possess the public certificate of an application instance within the target organization/space and have network reachability to the app. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a moderate-priority authentication-bypass (CWE-288) rated CVSS 6.5 by the reporter (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N), and the vector is internally consistent with the description: exploitation is unauthenticated (PR:N) and network-reachable (AV:N) but carries high complexity (AC:H) because the attacker must first obtain the public certificate of an app instance in the target org/space AND the deployment must fail to restrict inbound requests to a trusted proxy source IP - a non-default hardening gap rather than an out-of-the-box condition. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |

| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: Steeltoe 4.3.0 - upgrade the Steeltoe.Security.Authorization.Certificate package to 4.3.0 or later per the vendor advisory at https://github.com/SteeltoeOSS/security-advisories/security/advisories/GHSA-5mq7-rwhj-4fh9 and the release at https://github.com/SteeltoeOSS/Steeltoe/releases/tag/4.3.0. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
