CVE-2017-7530

En CloudForms Management Engine (cfme) en versiones anteriores a la 5.7.3 y versiones 5.8.x anteriores a la 5.8.1, se ha detectado que falta la comprobación de privilegios cuando se invocan métodos arbitrarios filtrando las máquinas virtuales que MiqExpression va a ejecutar. Esta condición puede ser desencadenada por los usuarios de la API. Un atacante podría utilizarlo para ejecutar acciones para las que no debería estar autorizado (por ejemplo, destruir máquinas virtuales).

It was found that privilege check is missing when invoking arbitrary methods via filtering on VMs that MiqExpression will execute that is triggerable by API users. An attacker could use this to execute actions they should not be allowed to (e.g. destroying VMs).

Ansible is a simple model-driven configuration management, multi-node deployment, and remote-task execution system. Ansible works over SSH and does not require any software or daemons to be installed on remote nodes. Extension modules can be written in any language and are transferred to managed machines automatically. Red Hat CloudForms Management Engine delivers the insight, control, and automation needed to address the challenges of managing virtual environments. CloudForms Management Engine is built on Ruby on Rails, a model-view-controller framework for web application development. Action Pack implements the controller and the view components.
