The APNIC registrar, responsible for the distribution of IP addresses in the Asia-Pacific region, reported an incident where a SQL dump of the Whois service was made publicly available, containing confidential data and password hashes. Notably, this is not the first leak of personal data at APNIC \u2014 in 2017, the Whois database was also exposed due to personnel oversight. <\/p>\n

During the implementation of RDAP support, intended to replace the WHOIS protocol, APNIC staff uploaded the SQL dump of the database used in the Whois service to Google Cloud storage but did not restrict access. Due to a configuration error, the SQL dump was publicly available for three months, and this fact was only discovered on June 4, when an independent security researcher brought it to attention and notified the registrar of the issue. <\/p>\n

The SQL dump included attributes like 'auth' containing password hashes for modifying Maintainer and Incident Response Team (IRT) objects, as well as some confidential information about clients that does not normally appear in Whois queries (typically additional contact details and user notes). If passwords were recovered, attackers could modify the contents of the fields containing block owner parameters in Whois. (the key to connect to is specified, and iroh finds the associated host and establishes an encrypted connection using the QUIC protocol). Direct P2P connections are established whenever possible, but if not, it falls back to using relays, which are also employed for host discovery by keys. You can run your own relay or connect to public relays supported by the community.<\/a> The Maintainer object defines the person responsible for altering the group of records linked through the 'mnt-by' attribute, while the IRT object contains contact details for the administrators who respond to issue notifications. The information about the hashing algorithm used for passwords is not provided, but in 2017, outdated algorithms like MD5 and CRYPT-PW (8-character passwords with hashes based on the UNIX crypt function) were used for hashing. <\/p>\n

After the incident was discovered, APNIC initiated a password reset for objects in Whois. On APNIC's side, no signs of illegitimate actions have been found so far, but there is no guarantee that the data did not fall into the hands of malicious actors, as complete access logs for files in Google Cloud are lacking. As with the previous incident, APNIC promised to conduct an audit and make changes to technological processes to prevent similar leaks in the future.
