Vulnerability CVE-2018-11134
Published: 2018-05-31
| Description: |
In order to perform actions that requires higher privileges, the Quest KACE System Management Appliance 8.0.318 relies on a message queue managed that runs with root privileges and only allows a set of commands. One of the available commands allows changing any user's password (including root). A low-privilege user could abuse this feature by changing the password of the 'kace_support' account, which comes disabled by default but has full sudo privileges. |
Type:
CWE-640 (Weak Password Recovery Mechanism for Forgotten Password)
