Frequently Asked Questions
1
Who is exposed to this issue?
Systems running BMCtest are exposed while a test is in progress, because Ironic is started without authentication and TLS for the duration of that test.
2
What does an attacker need to do to exploit it?
An attacker must win a race with BMCtest during the limited period in which Ironic is running without authentication and TLS. This short attack window significantly increases exploitation complexity.
