A flaw was found in all Openshift Enterprise versions using the openshift elasticsearch plugin. An attacker with knowledge of the given name used to authenticate and access Elasticsearch can later access it without the token, bypassing authentication. This attack also requires that the Elasticsearch be configured with an external route, and the data accessed is limited to the indices.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2017:3389 advisory.

    OpenShift Enterprise by Red Hat is the company's cloud computing Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution     designed for on-premise or private cloud deployments.

    This advisory contains the RPM packages for this release. An advisory for the container images for this     release is available at: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2017:3390.
