CVE-2020-14380: An account takeover flaw was found in Red Hat Satellite 6.7.2 onward.

HighCVSS 7.5 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 30/100)

The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.78% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 56.6% of all records.
Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
Fixed version: foreman (Red Hat:satellite_capsule:6.7::el7) 0:1.24.1.32-1.el7sat; foreman-debug (Red Hat:satellite_capsule:6.7::el7) 0:1.24.1.32-1.el7sat; pulp-docker (Red Hat:satellite_capsule:6.7::el7) 0:3.2.7-1.el7sat.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to foreman (Red Hat:satellite_capsule:6.7::el7) 0:1.24.1.32-1.el7sat; foreman-debug (Red Hat:satellite_capsule:6.7::el7) 0:1.24.1.32-1.el7sat; pulp-docker (Red Hat:satellite_capsule:6.7::el7) 0:3.2.7-1.el7sat or later.

Weakness class (CWE)

CWE-287 · Improper Authentication

CVSS vector

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

nvd-primary

Root cause

Authentication is added route by route instead of being enforced in one place. When a route added later bypasses the shared middleware, the session check never runs for it.

The bug in code

The whole CWE-287 class

A representative example of this vulnerability class. Not the vendor's source code; it shows the faulty pattern and its fix.

Vulnerable

1app.use("/admin", requireSession, adminRouter);
2

3// Route added later skips the middleware
4app.post("/admin-api/config", updateConfig);

Fixed

1const admin = express.Router();
2admin.use(requireSession, requireRole("admin"));
3

4admin.post("/config", updateConfig);
5app.use("/admin", admin);
