CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The vulnerability allows unauthorized access to the kickstart template via the Red Hat Satellite's unattended provisioning API, as the system incorrectly verifies the presence of a provisioning token based on its database state rather than the incoming request. This flaw can be exploited by attackers to bypass authentication and potentially compromise the provisioning process. Organizations using Red Hat Satellite should prioritize remediation to prevent unauthorized access and ensure the integrity of their provisioning workflows.

Original NVD Description

A flaw was found in Foreman. The Red Hat Satellite /unattended/provision API endpoint is vulnerable to an authentication bypass due to a semantic logic flaw in host_verifier.rb. The application verifies the database state of a provisioning token rather than its actual presence in the incoming HTTP request. Because a host actively undergoing provisioning has an unexpired token in the database, the server's valid_host_token? method evaluates to true, granting access to the kickstart template even if the requester provides no token at all in the URL.
