{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2024-47533","details":"Cobbler, a Linux installation server that allows for rapid setup of network installation environments, has an improper authentication vulnerability starting in version 3.0.0 and prior to versions 3.2.3 and 3.3.7. `utils.get_shared_secret()` always returns `-1`, which allows anyone to connect to cobbler XML-RPC as user `''` password `-1` and make any changes. This gives anyone with network access to a cobbler server full control of the server. Versions 3.2.3 and 3.3.7 fix the issue.","modified":"2026-03-07T00:40:20.024607Z","published":"2024-11-18T17:15:00Z","withdrawn":"2026-03-02T11:06:17Z","upstream":["CVE-2024-47533"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024-47533"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-47533"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/security/advisories/GHSA-m26c-fcgh-cp6h"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/commit/32c5cada013dc8daa7320a8eda9932c2814742b0"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/commit/e19717623c10b29e7466ed4ab23515a94beb2dda"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"cobbler","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/cobbler@2.4.1-0ubuntu2+esm1?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.4.1-0ubuntu2","2.4.1-0ubuntu2+esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"cobbler","binary_version":"2.4.1-0ubuntu2+esm1"},{"binary_name":"cobbler-common","binary_version":"2.4.1-0ubuntu2+esm1"},{"binary_name":"cobbler-web","binary_version":"2.4.1-0ubuntu2+esm1"},{"binary_name":"koan","binary_version":"2.4.1-0ubuntu2+esm1"},{"binary_name":"python-cobbler","binary_version":"2.4.1-0ubuntu2+esm1"},{"binary_name":"python-koan","binary_version":"2.4.1-0ubuntu2+esm1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-47533.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
