Descriptions

In Apache Karaf version prior to 3.0.9, 4.0.9, 4.1.1, when the webconsole feature is installed in Karaf, it is available at .../system/console and requires authentication to access it. One part of the console is a Gogo shell/console that gives access to the command line console of Karaf via a Web browser, and when navigated to it is available at .../system/console/gogo. Trying to go directly to that URL does require authentication. And optional bundle that some applications use is the Pax Web Extender Whiteboard, it is part of the pax-war feature and perhaps others. When it is installed, the Gogo console becomes available at another URL .../gogo/, and that URL is not secured giving access to the Karaf console to unauthenticated users. A mitigation for the issue is to manually stop/uninstall Gogo plugin bundle that is installed with the webconsole feature, although of course this removes the console from the .../system/console application, not only from the unauthenticated endpoint. One could also stop/uninstall the Pax Web Extender Whiteboard, but other components/applications may require it and so their functionality would be reduced/compromised.

En Apache Karaf en versiones anteriores a la 3.0.9, 4.0.9 y 4.1.1, cuando la característica webconsole está instalada en Karaf, está disponible en .../system/console y requiere autenticación para acceder a ella. Una parte de la consola es un shell/consola Gogo que otorga acceso a la consola de línea de comandos de Karaf mediante un navegador web y, cuando se navega hasta ella, está disponible en .../system/console/gogo. Intentar acceder directamente a esa URL requiere autenticación. Un paquete opcional empleado por algunas aplicaciones es Pax Web Extender Whiteboard, que forma parte de la característica pax-war y tal vez de otras. Cuando está instalada, la consola Gogo se vuelve disponible en otra URL../gogo/, y esa URL no es segura, lo que otorga acceso a la consola Karaf a usuarios no autenticados. Una mitigación a este problema es detener/desinstalar manualmente el paquete del plugin Gogo que está instalado con la funcionalidad webconsole, aunque esto elimina la consola de la aplicación en .../system/console, no solo del endpoint sin autenticar. También se podría detener/desinstalar Pax Web Extender Whiteboard, pero otros componentes/aplicaciones podrían necesitarlo y, por lo tanto, su funcionalidad se vería reducida/comprometida.
