Description

A vulnerability in RPKI manifest validation exists when objects on the manifest are hidden, or expired objects are replayed. An attacker successfully exploiting this vulnerability could prevent new ROAs from being received or selectively hide ROAs, causing routes to become INVALID.

To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need to perform a man in the middle attack on the TLS connection between the validator and an RRDP repository or perform a man in the middle attack against a rsync-only repository.

The update addresses the vulnerability by implementing validation methods from RFC 6486bis and enabling strict validation by default.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for net.ripe.rpki:rpki-validator-3, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update net.ripe.rpki:rpki-validator-3 to 3.2-2020.10.28.23.06 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-q76j-58cx-wp5v is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
