An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-5246 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Theforeman Foreman. 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-2015-5246/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5246/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-5246","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5246/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-5246","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4468-gjjg-mh5q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Foreman IT management","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication in Foreman by exploiting Active Directory password lifetime settings to gain unauthorized access.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"foreman","vendor":"theforeman"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-254","name":null}],"description":"The LDAP Authentication functionality in Foreman might allow remote attackers with knowledge of old passwords to gain access via vectors involving the password lifetime period in Active Directory.","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-2015-5246","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"theforeman:foreman","products":["theforeman:foreman"],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5247"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5245"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-10-06","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"smart_proxy_dynflow gem authentication bypass in Foreman remote execution feature","id":"CVE-2018-14643","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-09-21"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in foreman","id":"CVE-2017-7505","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-05-26"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4475","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-08-19"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3728","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-05-20"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5152","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-07-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in foreman","id":"CVE-2021-20260","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-26"}],"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":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication in Foreman by exploiting Active Directory password lifetime settings to gain unauthorized access.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5246/"}
