PD: Password encryption for service definitions

Hello there,

While using Ranger I noticed that when I create service def with input property:
   {
        "itemId": 3,
        "name": "password",
        "type": "password",
        "subType": "",
        "mandatory": true,
        "validationRegEx": "",
        "validationMessage": "",
        "uiHint":"",
        "label": "Secret key"
      }

Ranger will encrypt it using:

if (StringUtils.equalsIgnoreCase(configKey, CONFIG_KEY_PASSWORD)) {
                             String cryptConfigString = CRYPT_ALGO + "," +  ENCRYPT_KEY + "," + SALT + "," + ITERATION_COUNT + "," + configValue;
                             String encryptedPwd = PasswordUtils.encryptPassword(cryptConfigString);

Problem is that all encryption parameters are stored next to password (encryption key and salt):

| 609 | NULL | 2019-01-08 10:07:33 | 2019-01-08 10:07:34 |           1 |         1 |      82 | password                                  | PBEWithMD5AndDES,tzL1AKl5uc4NKYaoQ4P3WLGIBFPXWPWdu1fRm9004jtQiV,f77aLYLo,1000,6IxJOOpoFsJXyLNjNf/M9Q==

Even if I change default ones in  $ranger_home/ews/webapp/WEB-INF/classes/conf/ranger-admin-default-site.xml, they will still be storred in db

Is this know issue? Basically it means that password can be decrypted with little effort…

Thanks,
Adam Rempter

ODP: PD: Password encryption for service definitions

Posted by "Rempter, A. (Adam)" <ad...@ing.com.INVALID>.
Hey Zsombor,

Thanks for update. 

I understand that... but it means that (when storing encryption key next to password) it is effectively not encrypted. 

According to owasp (https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Cryptographic_Storage_Cheat_Sheet#Rule_-_Ensure_that_any_secret_key_is_protected_from_unauthorized_access)

Rule - Store unencrypted keys away from the encrypted data
If the keys are stored with the data then any compromise of the data will easily compromise the keys as well. Unencrypted keys should never reside on the same machine or cluster as the data.

One solution would be simply not store encryption key in db. It is anyway available via configuration key:

public static final String ENCRYPT_KEY = PropertiesUtil.getProperty("ranger.password.encryption.key", PasswordUtils.DEFAULT_ENCRYPT_KEY)

What do you think?

Thanks,
Adam

Hi,

 The problem is that Ranger needs to know the password, to reach out to the service, so it must store the password somewhere in a decryptable state.
Ideally, every service/protocol should support kerberos, so authentication could work without passwords.
