> While reading the code found 2 security issues url_sig code which would allow:
> - Issue 1: to crash ATS which is running the url_sig plugin by using an HTTP request (segmentation fault due out-of-bounds array access) - there is a need of proper sanitation of the key index input (query parameter)
> - Issue 2: to gain access to protected assets by signing the URL with an empty secret key if at least one of the 16 keys is not provided in the uri_sig plugin configuration. One could "scan" trying all keys 0 to 15 and for the empty key the signature validation would succeed - must to deny access if the key specified in the signature is not defined in the plugin config (empty).
