Vulnerabilities 7

High 8.1
Incorrect Authorization in Malcolm
Malcolm's nginx based reverse proxy contains a URL path normalization inconsistency between its Lua based role-based access control (RBAC) authorization layer and nginx's own request routing logic. An authenticated user can craft a specially formatted request…

High 7.1
Cross-Site Request Forgery in Malcolm
The Malcolm kiosk Flask application exposes a POST /script_call/<script> endpoint with zero authentication and wildcard CORS (CORS(app)). An attacker can force the operator's browser to execute arbitrary management commands via CSRF, including control.py --wi…

High 7.1
Server-Side Request Forgery in Malcolm
The bundled FilePond PHP server in Malcolm's file-upload component exposes a fetch route that retrieves an arbitrary URL and returns the response to the caller. An authenticated user can exploit this server-side request forgery (SSRF) to read HTTP, HTTPS, or …

Medium 6.5
Improper Handling of Highly Compressed Data in Malcolm
Malcolm's upload-processing pipeline (scripts/safe-extract.py) enforces entry-count, nesting-depth, and total-uncompressed-byte limits when extracting container archives (zip/tar/rar/7z via libarchive), but those limits are not applied when the uploaded file …

Medium 6.5
Authentication Bypass by Spoofing in Malcolm
Malcolm's front nginx reverse proxy defines a "Dashboards → Arkime shortcut" location using a case-insensitive regex matcher but a case-sensitive rewrite. A request whose path segment is not exact-lowercase (for example /IDDASH2ARK/...) enters the location (t…

Medium 5.4
Incorrect Authorization in Malcolm
Malcolm's nginx Lua role-based access control (RBAC) layer decides whether an authenticated user may reach a role-restricted path (e.g. /htadmin, /auth, /admin_login, /arkime/api/esadmin, NetBox, upload endpoints) by pattern-matching the raw, percent-encoded …

Medium 4.2
Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel in Malcolm
The Arkime live capture service (arkime-live) in Malcolm runs with network_mode: host, exposing port 8005 on all network interfaces (viewHost=0.0.0.0). Arkime trusts the X-Forwarded-User header from any IP address (userAuthIps=::,0.0.0.0/0) and auto-creates u…
