CVE-2024-7143: Pulpcore: rbac permissions incorrectly assigned in tasks that create objects

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 33/100)

  • 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: 0.60% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: automation-controller (Red Hat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.4::el8) 0:4.5.11-1.el8ap; automation-controller-cli (Red Hat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.4::el8) 0:4.5.11-1.el8ap; python39-urllib3 (Red Hat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.4::el8) 0:1.26.20-1.el8ap.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to automation-controller (Red Hat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.4::el8) 0:4.5.11-1.el8ap; automation-controller-cli (Red Hat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.4::el8) 0:4.5.11-1.el8ap; python39-urllib3 (Red Hat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.4::el8) 0:1.26.20-1.el8ap or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

A flaw was found in the Pulp package. When a role-based access control (RBAC) object in Pulp is set to assign permissions on its creation, it uses the `AutoAddObjPermsMixin` (typically the add_roles_for_object_creator method). This method finds the object creator by checking the current authenticated user. For objects that are created within a task, this current user is set by the first user with any permissions on the task object. This means the oldest user with model/domain-level task permissions will always be set as the current user of a task, even if they didn't dispatch the task. Therefore, all objects created in tasks will have their permissions assigned to this oldest user, and the creating user will receive nothing.
