Descriptions

A flaw was found in Ansible Tower, versions 3.6.x before 3.6.2 and 3.5.x before 3.5.4, when /websocket is requested and the password contains the '#' character. This request would cause a socket error in RabbitMQ when parsing the password and an HTTP error code 500 and partial password disclose will occur in plaintext. An attacker could easily guess some predictable passwords or brute force the password.

Se encontró un fallo en Ansible Tower, versiones 3.6.x anteriores a 3.6.2 y versiones 3.5.x anteriores a 3.5.4, cuando /websocket es solicitado y la contraseña contiene el carácter "#". Esta petición provocaría un error de socket en RabbitMQ al analizar la contraseña y se producirá un código de error HTTP 500 y una divulgación de contraseña parcial en texto plano. Un atacante podría adivinar fácilmente algunas contraseñas predecibles o llevar a cabo fuerza bruta de la contraseña.
