Descriptions
Smart Proxy (aka Smart-Proxy and foreman-proxy) in Foreman before 1.5.4 and 1.6.x before 1.6.2 does not validate SSL certificates, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended authentication and execute arbitrary API requests via a request without a certificate.
Smart Proxy (también conocido como Smart-Proxy y foreman-proxy) en Foreman en versiones anteriores a 1.5.4 y 1.6.x en versiones anteriores a 1.6.2 no valida certificados SSL, lo que permite a atacantes remotos eludir autenticación intencionada y ejecutar peticiones API arbitrarias a través de una petición sin un certificado.
It was discovered that foreman-proxy, when running in SSL-secured mode, did not correctly verify SSL client certificates. This could permit any client with access to the API to make requests and perform actions otherwise restricted.
The foreman-proxy package provides a RESTful API to manage DNS, DHCP, TFTP, and Puppet settings, and can be used as part of Foreman. It was discovered that foreman-proxy, when running in SSL-secured mode, did not correctly verify SSL client certificates. This could permit any client with access to the API to make requests and perform actions otherwise restricted. All foreman-proxy users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which corrects this issue.
