CVE-2013-7379: The admin API in the tomato module before 0.0.6 for Node.js does not properly check the access key when it...

Security readout for executives and security teams

A flaw in the Node.js tomato module could let someone bypass the admin API key check when the key is configured as a string. Business risk depends on whether an application still uses tomato before 0.0.6 and exposes its admin API to untrusted networks. Exposure is likely limited to older Node.js applications using the tomato module before 0.0.6 with the admin API reachable by attackers and string-based access keys configured. Handle as targeted remediation, not a broad emergency. Prioritize any internet-facing service using tomato before 0.0.6 because the vulnerable component protects administrative functionality. Mitigation focus: Inventory applications for the tomato Node.js module and version in use.; Upgrade tomato deployments below 0.0.6 after compatibility testing.; Restrict admin API access to trusted networks or authenticated internal paths..
