Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2009-4879 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-4879/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-4879/index.md)","id":"CVE-2009-4879","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-4879/index.md","name":"CVE-2009-4879","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qvcj-459w-56gw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Novell Access Manager","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers with disabled Active Directory accounts can bypass authentication restrictions in Novell Access Manager using X.509 certificates.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"access_manager","vendor":"novell"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"The Identity Server in Novell Access Manager before 3.1 SP1 allows attackers with disabled Active Directory accounts to authenticate using X.509 authentication, which bypasses intended access restrictions.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-4879","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2009"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-4880"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Unspecified vulnerability in the Administration Console in Novell Access Manager before 3.1 SP1 allows attackers to access system files via","id":"CVE-2009-4878"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2010-05-26","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0284","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-06-18"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-1309","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-03-07"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-3570","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-07-05"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Unspecified vulnerability in the Administration Console in Novell Access Manager before 3.1 SP1 allows attackers to access system files via","id":"CVE-2009-4878","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-05-26"},{"cvss_score":1.9,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6722","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-04-14"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers with disabled Active Directory accounts can bypass authentication restrictions in Novell Access Manager using X.509 certificates.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-4879/"}
