cloudforms_management_engine

A high severity vulnerability was found in all active versions of Red Hat CloudForms before 5.11.7.0. The out of band OS command injection vulnerability can be exploited by authenticated attacker while setuping conversion host through Infrastructure Migration Solution. This flaw allows attacker to execute arbitrary commands on CloudForms server.

The check_privileges method in vmdb/app/controllers/application_controller.rb in ManageIQ, as used in Red Hat CloudForms Management Engine (CFME), allows remote authenticated users to bypass authorization and gain privileges by leveraging improper RBAC checking, related to the rbac_user_edit action.

It was found that the CloudForms before 5.6.2.2, and 5.7.0.7 did not properly apply permissions controls to VM IDs passed by users. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary VMs on systems managed by CloudForms if they know the ID of the VM.

A code injection flaw was found in the way capacity and utilization imported control files are processed. A remote, authenticated attacker with access to the capacity and utilization feature could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code as the user CFME runs as.

CFME: CSRF protection vulnerability via permissive check of the referrer header

In CloudForms Management Engine (cfme) before 5.7.3 and 5.8.x before 5.8.1, 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).

A flaw was found in the CloudForms management engine version 5.10 and CloudForms management version 5.11, which triggered remote code execution through NFS schedule backup. An attacker logged into the management console could use this flaw to execute arbitrary shell commands on the CloudForms server as root.

CloudForms Management Engine (cfme) is vulnerable to an improper security setting in the dRuby component of CloudForms. An attacker with access to an unprivileged local shell could use this flaw to execute commands as a high privileged user.

Red Hat CloudForms 2 Management Engine (CFME) allows remote attackers to conduct session tampering attacks by leveraging use of a static secret_token.rb secret.

Nokogiri before 1.5.4 is vulnerable to XXE attacks

Red Hat CloudForms 4.7 and 5 was vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) flaw. With the access to add Ansible Tower provider, an attacker could scan and attack systems from the internal network which are not normally accessible.

Nokogiri gem 1.5.x and 1.6.x has DoS while parsing XML entities by failing to apply limits

Ansible, versions 2.9.x before 2.9.1, 2.8.x before 2.8.7 and Ansible versions 2.7.x before 2.7.15, is not respecting the flag no_log set it to True when Sumologic and Splunk callback plugins are used send tasks results events to collectors. This would discloses and collects any sensitive data.

CloudForms Management Engine (cfme) before 5.7.3 and 5.8.x before 5.8.1 lacks RBAC controls on certain methods in the rails application portion of CloudForms. An attacker with access could use a variety of methods within the rails application portion of CloudForms to escalate privileges.

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was found in the PDF export component of CloudForms, versions 5.9 and 5.10, due to user input is not properly sanitized. An attacker with least privilege to edit compute is able to execute a XSS attack against other users, which could lead to malicious code execution and extraction of the anti-CSRF token of higher privileged users.

A flaw was found in CloudForms before 5.9.0.22 in the self-service UI snapshot feature where the name field is not properly sanitized for HTML and JavaScript input. An attacker could use this flaw to execute a stored XSS attack on an application administrator using CloudForms. Please note that CSP (Content Security Policy) prevents exploitation of this XSS however not all browsers support CSP.

Nokogiri gem 1.5.x has Denial of Service via infinite loop when parsing XML documents

It was found that CloudForms does not verify that the server hostname matches the domain name in the certificate when using a custom CA and communicating with Red Hat Virtualization (RHEV) and OpenShift. This would allow an attacker to spoof RHEV or OpenShift systems and potentially harvest sensitive information from CloudForms.

Red Hat CloudForms 4.7 and 5 is affected by CSV Injection flaw, a crafted payload stays dormant till a victim export as CSV and opens the file with Excel. Once the victim opens the file, the formula executes, triggering any number of possible events. While this is strictly not an flaw that affects the application directly, attackers could use the loosely validated parameters to trigger several attack possibilities.
