CVE-2019-9733 (GCVE-0-2019-9733)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2019-04-11 18:59 – Updated: 2024-08-04 22:01Summary
An issue was discovered in JFrog Artifactory 6.7.3. By default, the access-admin account is used to reset the password of the admin account in case an administrator gets locked out from the Artifactory console. This is only allowable from a connection directly from localhost, but providing a X-Forwarded-For HTTP header to the request allows an unauthenticated user to login with the default credentials of the access-admin account while bypassing the whitelist of allowed IP addresses. The access-admin account can use Artifactory's API to request authentication tokens for all users including the admin account and, in turn, assume full control of all artifacts and repositories managed by Artifactory.

Esto solo es posible desde una conexi\u00f3n directamente del host local, pero al proporcionar un encabezado HTTP para X-Forwarded-For para la petici\u00f3n, permite que un usuario no autenticado inicie sesi\u00f3n con las credenciales predeterminadas de la cuenta de administrador de acceso y omita la lista blanca de direcciones IP permitidas. La cuenta de administrador de acceso puede usar la API de Artifactory para solicitar tokens de autenticaci\u00f3n para todos los usuarios, incluyendo la cuenta de administrador y, a la vez, asumir el control total de todos los artefactos y repositorios administrados por Artifactory."
