Planet API key file readable by other users

CVE-2023-32303 · published 3 years ago
Summary

The Planet application saved the API authentication file with permissions that let anyone on the system read it, not just the owner. This could let other users see the API key and potentially misuse the satellite data service. Upgrade to version 2.0.1 or manually change the file so only the owner can read and write it.

What to do
  • Update planet planet to version 2.0.1.

Original advisory text
Planet's secret file is created with excessive permissions
Planet is software that provides satellite data. The secret file stores the user's Planet API authentication information. It should only be accessible by the user, but before version 2.0.1, its permissions allowed the user's group and non-group to read the file as well. This issue was patched in version 2.0.1. As a workaround, set the secret file permissions to only user read/write by hand.
