Raccoon: Salesforce object access auditor

Released as open source by NCC Group Plc - https://www.nccgroup.com/

Developed by Jerome Smith @exploresecurity (with thanks to Viktor Gazdag @wucpi)

https://www.github.com/nccgroup/raccoon

Released under AGPL - refer to LICENSE for more information.

Description

This tool establishes which Profiles and Permissions Sets (with active users) have some combination of read/edit/delete permissions to ALL records for a given set of objects, based on their effective sharing and objects settings. From this output, misconfigurations that potentially allow excessive access to objects that hold sensitive data can be investigated. Refer to the accompanying blog post for background at https://research.nccgroup.com/2021/06/28/are-you-oversharing-in-salesforce.

It is recommended that results are verified manually with direct reference to the Salesforce configuration and/or testing of the affected Profiles and Permission Sets. Should discrepancies be found, please file an issue with as much detail as possible.

Usage

Requirements:

  • Python 3
  • The Python requests module (covered by requirements.txt)
  • An account with the following minimum permissions:
    • 'API Enabled'
    • 'View Setup and Configuration'
    • 'Modify Metadata Through Metadata API Functions' (see note on 'Account permissions')
    • Read permission on all the objects to be audited (or grant 'View All Data')
  • For authentication, supply EITHER username + password + (optional) token OR sessionId (more details in the Authentication section).

Create a JSON config file (or use config.json as a template) and populate as required:

{
	"hostname": "somewhere.my.salesforce.com",
	"username": "",
	"password": "",
	"token": "<optional token>",
	"sessionId": "",
	"objects": ["Account", "Contact"],
	"checkLimits": true,
	"debug": <optional debug level (0, 1 or 2)>
}

objects is a list of Salesforce objects of interest (i.e. the data you care about most). Using the formal API names is the most reliable method but, should a match not be found, Raccoon will try some simple matches based, for example, on the display label. If Raccoon still fails to find a match, the program will carry on but flag this up in the output.

checkLimits allows you to check the allowance of API calls remaining for the instance under investigation within the 24-hour rolling period. Raccoon makes relatively few calls per object (in addition to a fixed number per run) but, as a courtesy, this parameter allows you to check your limits before proceeding. The default value is true. The total number of possible remaining requests at the checkpoint is not certain because the number of calls will depend on how many objects have a 'Controlled by Parent' sharing model. The stated number assumes that they all do and is thus a maximum.

Run:

git clone https://github.com/nccgroup/raccoon
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 raccoon.py <config_file>

Authentication

When a username and password are used, note that a security token may also be required (if coming from an IP address outside any defined Network Access ranges). Refer to this article for more information.

Using the session ID alternative is useful in many cases:

  • Single sign-on i.e. no direct login to Salesforce possible
  • MFA is enforced
  • Trouble getting an API token (when needed)
  • Stops credentials accidentally being left in a file

To get the session ID:

  • Log in to Salesforce and switch to Classic mode if need be
  • Use the browser's Inspect tool to display the cookies
  • Sometimes there are multiple sid cookies: ensure you grab the one whose Domain attribute includes my.salesforce.com or cloudforce.com

Output

Sample (abridged and anonymised) output:

Raccoon - Salesforce object access auditor

- Up to 33 further requests are required to complete (3 requests sent so far)
- Do you want to continue? Enter 'y' to proceed: y

Validating objects
