It was found that the web interface provided by Red Hat Satellite to create the initial administrator user was not disabled after the initial user was created. A remote attacker could use this flaw to create an administrator user with credentials they specify. This user could then be used to assume control of the Satellite server.
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in the way Red Hat Satellite and Spacewalk services used to sanitize content of various query string (QS) variables when performing search for various entities:
when performing search for software channels value of 'whereCriteria' QS variable was incorrectly sanitized,
when performing search for scap audit results the values of the following QS variables were incorrectly sanitized:
'endyear', 'starthour', 'endampm', 'endday', 'endhour', 'endminute', 'endmonth', 'endyear', 'optionScanDateSearch', 'resultfilter', 'searchstring', 'showas', 'startampm', 'startday', 'starthour', 'startminute', 'startmonth', 'startyear', and 'whereToSearch',
when performing search for errata the values of the following QS variables were incorrectly sanitized:
'endminute', 'endmonth', 'endyear', 'erratatypebug', 'erratatypeenhancement', 'erratatypesecurity', 'fineGrained', 'list1892635924sortdir', 'optionIssueDateSearch', 'startampm', 'startday', 'starthour', 'startminute', 'startmonth', 'startyear', and 'viewmode',
when performing search for systems the value of the 'fineGrained' QS variable was incorrectly sanitized.
Remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted web page that, when visited by authenticated Red Hat Satellite or Spacewalk user would lead to arbitrary HTML or web script execution in the context of Red Hat Satellite's / Spacewalk's user's session.
XML external entity (XXE) in the RPC interface in Spacewalk and Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite 5.7 and earlier allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files and possibly have other unspecified impact via unknown vectors.
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Spacewalk and Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite before 5.7.0 allow remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via crafted XML data to the REST API.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Spacewalk and Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite before 5.7.0 allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the System Groups field.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in spacewalk-java 1.2.39, 1.7.54, and 2.0.2 in Spacewalk and Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite 5.4 through 5.6 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted request that is not properly handled when logging.
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in spacewalk-java 2.0.2 in Spacewalk and Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite 5.5 and 5.6 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors to (1) kickstart/cobbler/CustomSnippetList.do, (2) channels/software/Entitlements.do, or (3) admin/multiorg/OrgUsers.do.
