CVE-2019-10311: High severity red hat ansible tower vulnerability

Published Apr 30, 2019
·
Updated

A missing permission check in Jenkins Ansible Tower Plugin 0.9.1 and earlier in the TowerInstallation.TowerInstallationDescriptor#doTestTowerConnection form validation method allowed attackers with Overall/Read permission to connect to an attacker-specified URL using attacker-specified credentials IDs obtained through another method, capturing credentials stored in Jenkins.

Other sources

Jenkins Ansible Tower Plugin did not perform permission checks on a method implementing form validation. This allowed users with Overall/Read access to Jenkins to connect to an attacker-specified URL using attacker-specified credentials IDs obtained through another method, capturing credentials stored in Jenkins.

Additionally, this form validation method did not require POST requests, resulting in a cross-site request forgery vulnerability.

This form validation method now requires POST requests and Overall/Administer permissions.
