CVE-2024-7012: Puppet-foreman: an authentication bypass vulnerability exists in foreman
First published: Tue Jul 23 2024(Updated: )
An authentication bypass vulnerability exists in Foreman due to Pulpcore when deployed with Gunicorn versions earlier than 22.0. The issue arises from how Apache’s mod_proxy handles header as it fails to unset it properly due to restrictions on underscores in HTTP headers. This allow authentication through malformed header instead. This flaw affects all Katello/Satellite 6.10+ deployments using Pulpcore from version 4.0+ and could potentially allow unauthorized users to gain admin access.
