## Preface Poweradmin maps OIDC identities into local users through `oidc_user_links.oidc_subject` plus `provider_id`. In the MySQL schema, the OIDC link table explicitly uses `utf8mb4_unicode_ci`, which is case-insensitive and accent-insensitive. OIDC `sub` is a stable external subject identifier and should be matched byte-for-byte within the issuer/provider scope. The confirmed local PoC used two different OIDC users: - Victim subject: `victim-login` - Attacker subject: `victím-login` (`í`, U+00ED) MySQL reported those two subjects as equal under `utf8mb4_unicode_ci`. After the victim linked their OIDC account, the attacker authenticated to the same provider with the attacker's own password and Poweradmin resolved the session to the victim's local account. ## Server Info - **Application:** Poweradmin - **Version:** `targets/poweradmin` git `e1f9c9a` - **Database:** MySQL `8.4.10`, `character_set_server=utf8mb4`, `collation_server=utf8mb4_unicode_ci` - **Access Permissions:** Any user who can create or control an account in the connected OIDC provider - **Auth Method:** OIDC generic provider - **Tools:** Docker Compose, local OIDC provider, Python PoC harness **Affected Entry Point:** ```text GET /oidc/login?provider=generic GET /oidc/callback?code=...&state=... ``` Relevant request properties: - Authentication: valid OIDC authorization code flow - Trigger: attacker OIDC account has a `sub` that collides with a victim's linked `sub` - Vulnerable field: OIDC `sub` stored and looked up as `oidc_user_links.oidc_subject` ## Root Cause Analysis ### part0 — `oidc_user_links.oidc_subject` uses an accent-insensitive collation The MySQL schema defines the OIDC link table with `utf8mb4_unicode_ci`: ```sql -- sql/poweradmin-mysql-db-structure.sql:341-356 CREATE TABLE `oidc_user_links` ( `user_id` INT(11) NOT NULL, `provider_id` VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, `oidc_subject` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, ... UNIQUE KEY `unique_subject_provider` (`oidc_subject`, `provider_id`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_unicode_ci; ``` In the PoC database: ```text Field Type Collation provider_id varchar(50) utf8mb4_unicode_ci oidc_subject varchar(255) utf8mb4_unicode_ci SELECT 'victim-login' = 'victím-login' COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci; -- accent_collision = 1 ``` ### part1 — OIDC `sub` flows into a normal SQL equality lookup Poweradmin reads the subject from OIDC userinfo data. If no custom `subject` mapping is configured, it uses the `sub` claim: ```php // lib/Application/Service/OidcService.php:424-459 $resourceOwner = $provider->getResourceOwner($token); $userData = $resourceOwner->toArray(); ... subject: $userData[$mapping['subject'] ?? 'sub'] ?? '', ``` The callback passes the resulting `OidcUserInfo` to provisioning: ```php // lib/Application/Service/OidcService.php:269-291 $userInfo = $this->getUserInfo($provider, $token, $providerId); $userId = $this->userProvisioningService->provisionUser($userInfo, $providerId); ``` Provisioning first tries to find an existing user by subject: ```php // lib/Application/Service/UserProvisioningService.php:86-90 $existingUserId = $authMethod === self::AUTH_METHOD_SAML ? $this->findUserBySamlSubject($userInfo->getSubject(), $providerId) : $this->findUserByOidcSubject($userInfo->getSubject(), $providerId); ``` The lookup is normal SQL equality evaluated under the column's weak collation: ```php // lib/Application/Service/UserProvisioningService.php:145-149 $stmt = $this->db->prepare(" SELECT user_id FROM oidc_user_links WHERE oidc_subject = ? AND provider_id = ? "); $stmt->execute([$subject, $providerId]); ``` When the attacker authenticates with `sub = victím-login`, MySQL matches the existing row for `oidc_subject = victim-login` and returns the victim's `user_id`. ### part2 — The returned user ID becomes the authenticated session After provisioning returns the matched `user_id`, Poweradmin fetches the database username for that user and stores the matched user ID in the session: ```php // lib/Application/Service/OidcService.php:307-317 $databaseUsername = $this->userProvisioningService->getDatabaseUsername($userId); $this->setSessionValue('userlogin', $databaseUsername); ``` ```php // lib/Application/Service/OidcService.php:360-371 $this->setSessionValue('userid', $userId); ... $this->setSessionValue('authenticated', true); ``` The attacker's OIDC password is validated by the IdP, but the local `user_id` selected by Poweradmin comes from the weak-collation SQL lookup. ## Security Impact An attacker who can register or control an OIDC principal with an accent/collation variant of a victim's OIDC subject can authenticate with the attacker's own IdP credentials and obtain a Poweradmin session for the victim's local account. The confirmed PoC used distinct OIDC usernames, subjects, emails, and passwords. The attacker did not know or modify the victim's password. ## Reproduction ### 1. Start the local Poweradmin OIDC lab ```bash sudo -n docker compose -p poweradminoidcpoc -f poc/work/poweradmin-oidc-collation/docker-compose.yml up -d ``` The lab uses MySQL `utf8mb4_unicode_ci` and a local OIDC provider with two real login accounts: ```text Victim: username/sub: victim-login email: victim.poweradmin@example.com password: VictimPassword123! Attacker: username/sub: victím-login email: attacker.poweradmin@example.com password: AttackerPassword123! ``` ### 2. Log in once as the victim through OIDC Authenticate through `GET /oidc/login?provider=generic` using: ```text username: victim-login password: VictimPassword123! ``` Poweradmin creates the victim local user and OIDC link: ```text users: id username fullname email 2 victim-login Victim Poweradmin victim.poweradmin@example.com oidc_user_links: id user_id provider_id oidc_subject 1 2 generic victim-login ``` ### 3. Log in as the attacker OIDC user Authenticate from a separate browser session with: ```text username: victím-login password: AttackerPassword123! ``` Observed result from `poc/work/poweradmin-oidc-collation/run_poc.py`: ```json { "attacker_login": { "selected_idp_user": "attacker", "selected_idp_username": "victím-login", "has_session_cookie": true, "home_contains_victim_username": true, "home_contains_attacker_username": false }, "attacker_resolved_to_victim": true } ``` Database evidence after both logins: ```text version charset_server collation_server 8.4.10 utf8mb4 utf8mb4_unicode_ci accent_collision 1 users: id username fullname email 2 victim-login Victim Poweradmin victim.poweradmin@example.com oidc_user_links: id user_id provider_id oidc_subject oidc_subject_hex 1 2 generic victim-login 76696374696D2D6C6F67696E ``` The application audit log also records all OIDC login events as the victim user: ```text user:victim-login operation:login_success auth_method:oidc ``` No local user or OIDC link was created for `victím-login`. ## Recommended Fix Treat OIDC subject identifiers as byte-exact strings. For MySQL, migrate the OIDC mapping identifiers to a binary or byte-preserving collation: ```sql ALTER TABLE oidc_user_links MODIFY COLUMN provider_id varchar(50) CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_bin NOT NULL, MODIFY COLUMN oidc_subject varchar(255) CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_bin NOT NULL; ``` Also make lookup queries byte-preserving so patched application code protects existing deployments before schema migrations are complete: ```php $stmt = $this->db->prepare(" SELECT user_id FROM oidc_user_links WHERE BINARY oidc_subject = BINARY ? AND BINARY provider_id = BINARY ? "); ``` Review related identity and authorization lookups: - `findUserByEmail()` uses `users.email = ?` and can be impacted when `link_by_email` is enabled. - `findPermissionTemplateByName()` uses `perm_templ.name = ?` for SSO permission template mapping. - `findGroupByName()` uses `user_groups.name = ?` for SSO group mapping. Those fields should either be intentionally documented as case/accent-insensitive or migrated/looked up with byte-preserving semantics where they represent security boundaries. ## Patches Fixed in 4.2.5, 4.3.4, and 4.4.0. OIDC and SAML subject identifiers are now matched byte-for-byte. The fix includes a database migration that changes the collation of the identity link columns, so upgrading requires running the SQL update script for your database in the `sql/` directory. ## Acknowledge / Credit whale120 (@whale120_tw), working with DEVCORE Internship Program
