Threat Model Analysis for googleapis/google-api-php-client

Threat: Dependency Vulnerability in google-api-php-client

  • Description: An attacker exploits a known security flaw within the google-api-php-client library code. This could involve sending crafted requests that the library processes, triggering vulnerabilities in parsing, request handling, or other core functionalities.
  • Impact: Application compromise, potentially allowing the attacker to gain unauthorized access, manipulate data accessed through Google APIs, or cause denial of service.
  • Affected Component: Core library code, potentially affecting various modules depending on the vulnerability.
  • Risk Severity: Critical
  • Mitigation Strategies:
    • Immediately update google-api-php-client to the latest version upon release of security patches.
    • Subscribe to security advisories and vulnerability databases related to PHP and the google-api-php-client library.
    • Implement automated dependency scanning in the development pipeline to detect known vulnerabilities.

Threat: Dependency Vulnerability in google-api-php-client Dependencies

  • Description: An attacker exploits a vulnerability in one of the PHP packages that google-api-php-client relies upon. This could be through exploiting flaws in networking libraries, HTTP client libraries, or other underlying dependencies used by the google-api-php-client.
  • Impact: Similar to vulnerabilities in the main library, this can lead to application compromise, data breaches, or denial of service, as the vulnerable dependency is a core part of the library's functionality.
  • Affected Component: Indirectly affects the application through the vulnerable dependency, which is utilized by various modules within google-api-php-client.
  • Risk Severity: High
  • Mitigation Strategies:
    • Regularly update all application dependencies, including those of google-api-php-client.
    • Use dependency scanning tools to specifically identify vulnerable dependencies of google-api-php-client.
    • Monitor security advisories for PHP packages used as dependencies by the library.

Threat: Improper Handling of OAuth 2.0 Flows due to Library Misuse

  • Description: Developers incorrectly implement OAuth 2.0 flows when using google-api-php-client's OAuth modules, leading to security weaknesses. This could involve mishandling redirect URIs, improper state parameter usage, or insecure token storage practices facilitated by misunderstanding or misusing the library's features.
  • Impact: Unauthorized access, account compromise, potentially allowing attackers to intercept authorization codes or access tokens if the library's OAuth functionalities are not used as intended and securely.
  • Affected Component: OAuth 2.0 client implementation within the application, specifically when using the OAuth modules provided by google-api-php-client.
  • Risk Severity: High
  • Mitigation Strategies:
    • Thoroughly understand and correctly implement OAuth 2.0 flows as documented by both the OAuth 2.0 specification and the google-api-php-client documentation.
    • Utilize the OAuth 2.0 features provided by google-api-php-client strictly according to best practices and examples.
    • Carefully review and test OAuth 2.0 implementation for vulnerabilities, paying close attention to redirect URI validation, state parameter handling, and token storage.
    • Consult security guidelines and best practices for OAuth 2.0 implementation in PHP applications using client libraries.
