CVE-2021-32691

Apollos Apps is an open source platform for launching church-related apps. In Apollos Apps versions prior to 2.20.0, new user registrations are able to access anyone's account by only knowing their basic profile information (name, birthday, gender, etc). This includes all app functionality within the app, as well as any authenticated links to Rock-based webpages (such as giving and events). There is a patch in version 2.20.0. As a workaround, one can patch one's server by overriding the `create` data source method on the `People` class.

### Impact New user registrations are able to access anyone's account by only knowing their basic profile information (name, birthday, gender, etc). This includes all app functionality within the app, as well as any authenticated links to Rock-based webpages (such as giving and events). ### Patches We have released a security patch on v2.20.0. The solution was to create a duplicate person and then patch the new person with their profile details. ### Workarounds If you do not wish to upgrade your app to the new version, you can patch your server by overriding the `create` data source method on the `People` class. ```js create = async (profile) => { const rockUpdateFields = this.mapApollosFieldsToRock(profile); // auto-merge functionality is compromised // we are creating a new user and patching them with profile details const id = await this.post('/People', { Gender: 0, // required by Rock. Listed first so it can be overridden. IsSystem: false, // required by rock }); await this.patch(`/People/${id}`, { ...rockUpdateFields, }); return id; }; ``` ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Email us at [support@apollos.app](mailto:support@apollos.app)

Apollos Apps es una plataforma de código abierto para lanzar aplicaciones church-related. En Apollos Apps anterior a versión 2.20.0, los nuevos registros de usuarios pueden acceder a la cuenta de cualquier persona al solo conocer su información básica de perfil (nombre, cumpleaños, sexo, etc.). Esto incluye toda la funcionalidad de la aplicación dentro de la misma, así como cualquier enlace autentificado a las páginas web basadas en Rock (como donaciones y eventos). Hay un parche en la versión 2.20.0. Como solución, uno puede parchear su servidor anulando el método de fuente de datos "create" en la clase "People"
