Missing server-side authorization in Eclipse Mnestix Browser admin server actions allows unauthenticated configuration tampering

Summary

In Eclipse Mnestix Browser versions 1.2.0 up until but excluding 2.3.0 it was possible for an unauthenticated attacker to perform actions that are only allowed to be executed by an authorized Mnestix user, like changing the Infrastructure settings or calling the connected and authenticated Mnestix AAS Generator backend.

Remediation

1. Inventory every Eclipse Foundation Eclipse Mnestix deployment, including staging.
2. Upgrade Eclipse Foundation Eclipse Mnestix to 2.3.0.
3. Confirm the running version after the upgrade.
