Descriptions
The component in (1) /luci/homebase and (2) /luci/cluster menu in Red Hat Conga 0.12.2 allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted URL.
El componente en (1) /luci/homebase y (2) /luci/cluster menu en Red Hat Conga 0.12.2 permite a usuarios remotos autenticados evadir las restricciones de acceso a través de una URL manipulada.
It was discovered that various components in the luci site extension-related URLs were not properly restricted to administrative users. A remote, authenticated attacker could escalate their privileges to perform certain actions that should be restricted to administrative users, such as adding users and systems, and viewing log data.
The Conga project is a management system for remote workstations. It consists of luci, which is a secure web-based front end, and ricci, which is a secure daemon that dispatches incoming messages to underlying management modules. It was discovered that Plone, included as a part of luci, did not properly protect the administrator interface. A remote attacker could use this flaw to inject a specially crafted Python statement or script into Plone's restricted Python sandbox that, when the administrator interface was accessed, would be executed with the privileges of that administrator user.
