Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: Red Hat
Product: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2

Description

A flaw was found in pulp-ansible's bearer-token refresh for collection remotes. The access token is kept in one module-level variable and reused for every token download in that worker. A user who can sync an Ansible remote that uses token refresh, and can point that remote at a server they control, receives an access token obtained for a different remote, and can reuse it at the service that issued it. Content stored in Pulp is not changed, and the service is not stopped.

Technical Analysis

The vulnerability in pulp-ansible's bearer-token refresh for collection remotes involves improper handling of access tokens. Specifically, the access token is stored in a module-level variable and reused for every token download in the worker process. An attacker able to sync an Ansible remote that uses token refresh and control the remote server can obtain an access token issued for a different remote and reuse it at the issuing service. The flaw does not affect the integrity or availability of content stored in Pulp or the service operation.

Potential Impact

An attacker with the ability to sync an Ansible remote and control the remote server can obtain and reuse access tokens issued for other remotes. This leads to unauthorized access to resources protected by those tokens (confidentiality impact). There is no impact on data integrity or service availability. The CVSS score is 6.5 (medium severity) reflecting the confidentiality impact with low attack complexity and required privileges.
