CVE-2012-2395 cobbler: command injection flaw in the power management XML-RPC API

The web interface (CobblerWeb) in Cobbler before 1.2.9 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary Python code in cobblerd by editing a Cheetah kickstart template to import arbitrary Python modules.

The set_mgmt_parameters function in item.py in cobbler before 2.2.2 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to the use of the yaml.load function instead of the yaml.safe_load function, as demonstrated using Puppet.

CVE-2010-2235 RHN Satellite (cobbler): Code injection flaw (ACE as root) by processing of a specially-crafted kickstart template file

Cobbler version Verified as present in Cobbler versions 2.6.11+, but code inspection suggests at least 2.0.0+ or possibly even older versions may be vulnerable contains a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in cobbler-web that can result in Privilege escalation to admin.. This attack appear to be exploitable via "network connectivity". Sending unauthenticated JavaScript payload to the Cobbler XMLRPC API (/cobbler_api).

Cobbler version up to 2.8.2 is vulnerable to a command injection vulnerability in the "add repo" component resulting in arbitrary code execution as root user.

Cobbler version Verified as present in Cobbler versions 2.6.11+, but code inspection suggests at least 2.0.0+ or possibly even older versions may be vulnerable contains a Incorrect Access Control vulnerability in XMLRPC API (/cobbler_api) that can result in Privilege escalation, data manipulation or exfiltration, LDAP credential harvesting. This attack appear to be exploitable via "network connectivity". Taking advantage of improper validation of security tokens in API endpoints. Please note this …

A flaw was found in cobbler software component version 2.6.11-1. It suffers from an invalid parameter validation vulnerability, leading the arbitrary file reading. The flaw is triggered by navigating to a vulnerable URL via cobbler-web on a default installation.

An API-exposure flaw was found in cobbler, where it exported CobblerXMLRPCInterface private functions over XMLRPC. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to gain important privileges within cobbler, as well as upload files to an arbitrary location in the daemon context.

cobbler: Web interface lacks CSRF protection when using Django framework

If PAM is correctly configured and a user account is set to expired, the expired user-account is still able to successfully log into Cobbler in all places (Web UI, CLI & XMLRPC-API). The same applies to user accounts with passwords set to be expired.

An issue was discovered in Cobbler before 3.3.1. Files in /etc/cobbler are world readable. Two of those files contain some sensitive information that can be exposed to a local user who has non-privileged access to the server. The users.digest file contains the sha2-512 digest of users in a Cobbler local installation. In the case of an easy-to-guess password, it's trivial to obtain the plaintext string. The settings.yaml file contains secrets …

An issue was discovered in Cobbler before 3.3.1. In the templar.py file, the function check_for_invalid_imports can allow Cheetah code to import Python modules via the from MODULE import substring. (Only lines beginning with import are blocked.)

Cobbler before 3.3.0 allows log poisoning, and resultant Remote Code Execution, via an XMLRPC method that logs to the logfile for template injection.

Cobbler before 3.3.0 allows authorization bypass for modification of settings.

Cobbler before 3.3.0 allows arbitrary file write operations via upload_log_data.

A local file inclusion is possible by specifying full path to any desired file in the Kickstart value in Cobbler's WebUI.
