Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
ONOS 2.0.0 and earlier has weak input validation in REST flow-creation functions. A network administrator, or an attacker with management-plane access, could cause unintended flow rules to be installed on switches. That can affect how traffic is forwarded in an SDN environment.
Executive priority
Prioritize review if ONOS controls production network forwarding. Business risk depends on management-plane exposure and operational reliance on SDN flow rules.
Technical view
CVE-2019-1010250 affects FlowWebResource.java createFlow() and createFlows() in ONOS RESTful services. The CVE describes poor input validation, allowing unintended switch flow rules through network management connectivity. No CVSS score, CWE, patch version, or exploit details are provided in the source bundle.
Likely exposure
Exposure is most relevant where ONOS 2.0.0 or earlier is used and its REST management interface is reachable by administrators or other network actors.
Exploitation context
The source bundle does not report active exploitation, and KEV status is false. The described vector requires network management connectivity to the ONOS REST flow-creation surface.
Researcher notes
Evidence is limited to the CVE record and references. There is no provided CVSS, CWE, proof-of-concept status, exploit confirmation, or named fixed release. Avoid assuming broader ONOS versions are affected.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory ONOS deployments and identify versions 2.0.0 or earlier.
- Check ONOS or Linux Foundation guidance for fixed versions or vendor mitigations.
- Restrict ONOS REST management access to approved administration networks.
- Review access controls for users allowed to create flow rules.
- Monitor for unexpected or unauthorized switch flow rule changes.
Validation and detection
- Confirm the running ONOS version on each controller.
- Determine whether REST flow-management services are reachable from untrusted networks.
- Review current switch flow rules for unexpected entries.
- Inspect ONOS logs for unusual flow creation activity.
- Verify management-plane access is limited to authorized administrators.
