What is CVE-2024-10295?

CVE-2024-10295 is a high-severity authentication bypass vulnerability in Red Hat 3scale API Management Platform 2, published on 24 Oct 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

A flaw was found in Gateway. Sending a non-base64 'basic' auth with special characters can cause APICast to incorrectly authenticate a request. A malformed basic authentication header containing special characters bypasses authentication and allows unauthorized access to the backend. This issue can occur due to a failure in the base64 decoding process, which causes APICast to skip the rest of the authentication checks and proceed with routing the request upstream.
