GHSA-MCG6-H362-CMQ5

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-03-11 20:52 – Updated: 2024-11-18 16:26
VLAI
Summary
Improper Authorization in cobbler
Details

Impact

If PAM is correctly configured and a user account is set to expired, the expired user-account is still able to successfully log into Cobbler in all places (Web UI, CLI & XMLRPC-API).

The same applies to user accounts with passwords set to be expired.

Patches

There is a patch for the latest Cobbler 3.3.2 available, however a backport will be done for 3.2.x.

Workarounds

  • Delete expired accounts which are able to access Cobbler via PAM.
  • Use chage -l <username> to lock the account. If the account has SSH-Keys attached then remove them completely.

References

  • Originally discovered by @ysf at https://www.huntr.dev/bounties/c458b868-63df-414e-af10-47e3745caa1d/

How to test if my Cobbler instance is affected?

The following pytest test assumes that your PAM setup is correct. In case the added user is not able to login, this test does not make sense to be executed.

def test_pam_login_with_expired_user():
    # Arrange
    # create pam testuser
    test_username = "expired_user"
    test_password = "password"
    test_api = CobblerAPI()
    subprocess_1 = subprocess.run(
        ["perl", "-e", "'print crypt(\"%s\", \"%s\")'" % (test_username, test_password)],
        stdout=subprocess.PIPE
    )
    subprocess.run(["useradd", "-p", subprocess_1.stdout, test_username])
    # change user to be expired
    subprocess.run(["chage", "-E0", test_username])

    # Act
    result = pam.authenticate(test_api, test_username, test_password)

    # Assert - login should fail
    assert not result

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-05-21 15:30 – Updated: 2025-05-21 15:30
VLAI
Details

In Proget MDM, a low-privileged user can retrieve passwords for managed devices and subsequently use functionalities restricted by the MDM (Mobile Device Management). For it to happen, they must know the UUIDs of targetted devices, which might be obtained by exploiting CVE-2025-1415 or CVE-2025-1417.

This issue has been fixed in 2.17.5 version of Konsola Proget (server part of the MDM suite).

Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
  • Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].

Mitigation MIT-4.4
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks

  • Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
  • For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
  • One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
System Configuration Installation

Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
