Description

ReportPortal DoS vulnerability on creating a Launch with too many recursively nested elements (CVE-2023-25822)

Details

ReportPortal is an AI-powered test automation platform. Prior to version 5.10.0 of the com.epam.reportportal:service-api module, corresponding to ReportPortal version 23.2, the ReportPortal database becomes unstable and reporting almost fully stops except for small launches with approximately 1 test inside when the test_item.path field is exceeded the allowable ltree field type indexing limit (path length>=120, approximately recursive nesting of the nested steps). REINDEX INDEX path_gist_idx and path_idx aren’t helped. The problem was fixed in com.epam.reportportal:service-api module version 5.10.0 (product release 23.2), where the maximum number of nested elements were programmatically limited. A workaround is available. After deletion of the data with long paths, and reindexing both indexes (path_gist_idx and path_idx), the database becomes stable and ReportPortal works properly.

Reason for inclusion in AVID: CVE-2023-25822 describes a DoS vulnerability in ReportPortal’s service-api that can destabilize the system when creating deeply nested launches. ReportPortal is an AI-powered test automation platform, and the component is used in AI software pipelines (CI/CD, testing, deployment tooling). This is a software supply-chain component vulnerability relevant to AI systems, with explicit details on impact and remediation in the report.
