{"schemaVersion":3,"id":"CVE-2018-11787","aliases":["GHSA-cq9c-55r7-455x"],"status":"published","duplicateOf":null,"title":null,"description":"In Apache Karaf version prior to 3.0.9, 4.0.9, 4.1.1, when the webconsole feature is installed in Karaf, it is available at .../system/console and requires authentication to access it. One part of the console is a Gogo shell/console that gives access to the command line console of Karaf via a Web browser, and when navigated to it is available at .../system/console/gogo. Trying to go directly to that URL does require authentication. And optional bundle that some applications use is the Pax Web Extender Whiteboard, it is part of the pax-war feature and perhaps others. When it is installed, the Gogo console becomes available at another URL .../gogo/, and that URL is not secured giving access to the Karaf console to unauthenticated users. A mitigation for the issue is to manually stop/uninstall Gogo plugin bundle that is installed with the webconsole feature, although of course this removes the console from the .../system/console application, not only from the unauthenticated endpoint. One could also stop/uninstall the Pax Web Extender Whiteboard, but other components/applications may require it and so their functionality would be reduced/compromised.","dates":{"published":"2018-09-18T14:00:00.000Z","modified":"2024-09-17T02:16:58.807Z","reserved":null,"kevAdded":[],"kevDue":[]},"cvss":{"headline":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","version":"3.0","versionLabel":"v3.0","source":"NVD","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","computed":false,"selection":"backend-summary"},"metrics":[{"version":"3.0","versionLabel":"v3.0","source":"NVD","score":8.1,"severity":"high","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","exploitability":null,"impact":null,"computed":false},{"version":"2.0","versionLabel":"v2.0","source":"NVD","score":6.8,"severity":"medium","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","exploitability":null,"impact":null,"computed":false},{"version":"3.0","versionLabel":"v3.0","source":"OSV
