CVE-2023-25560

Safety vulnerability ID: SFTY-20230211-86861

Safety legacy ID: pyup.io-63335

DataHub's AuthServiceClient, specifically versions prior to 0.8.45, creates JSON strings using format strings containing user-controlled data. This method enables potential attackers to manipulate these JSON strings and forward them to the backend, leading to potential misuse and authentication bypasses. Such misuse could result in the generation of system accounts, potentially leading to full system compromise. This vulnerability was identified and reported by the GitHub Security lab and is being tracked under GHSL-2022-080. https://github.com/datahub-project/datahub/security/advisories/GHSA-6rpf-5cfg-h8f3
