🛡️ CVE-2023-5455 — codeready-linux-builder
Description
A Cross-site request forgery vulnerability exists in ipa/session/login_password in all supported versions of IPA. This flaw allows an attacker to trick the user into submitting a request that could perform actions as the user, resulting in a loss of confidentiality and system integrity. During community penetration testing it was found that for certain HTTP end-points FreeIPA does not ensure CSRF protection. Due to implementation details one cannot use this flaw for reflection of a cookie representing already logged-in user. An attacker would always have to go through a new authentication attempt.
How this vulnerability can be exploited
This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. A user must be tricked into taking some action. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality none, integrity high, availability none.
CVSS metrics in full
The score comes from this vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N
- Attack vector: Network — reachable from anywhere that can route to the service.
- Attack complexity: Low — the attack works reliably, with no preparation.
- Privileges required: None — an unauthenticated stranger can try it.
- User interaction: Required — someone has to click, open or visit something.
- Scope: Unchanged — the damage stays inside the vulnerable component.
- Confidentiality impact: None.
- Integrity impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
- Availability impact: None.
Weakness class
CVE-2023-5455 is classified as CWE-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF). A state-changing request is accepted without proof it was intended, so another site can trigger it using the victim's session.
