Descriptions

chef-server-api/app/controllers/clients.rb in Chef Server in Chef before 0.9.20, and 0.10.x before 0.10.6, does not require administrative privileges for creating admin clients, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging read permission for the validation key and executing a knife client create command with the --admin option.

chef-server-api/app/controllers/clients.rb en Chef Server en Chef anterior a v0.9.20, y v0.10.x anterior a v0.10.6, no solicita privilegios administrativos para la creación de clientes de administración, lo que permite a usuarios remotos autenticados eludir las restricciones de acceso mediante el aprovechamiento del permiso de lectura para la clave de validación y ejecución de un cliente (knife) mediante un comando que incluya la opción --admin.
