CVE-2012-3503
First published: Sat Aug 25 2012(Updated: )
The installation script in Katello 1.0 and earlier does not properly generate the `Application.config.secret_token` value, which causes each default installation to have the same secret token, and allows remote attackers to authenticate to the CloudForms System Engine web interface as an arbitrary user by creating a cookie using the default `secret_token`.
