A Cross-site request forgery vulnerability exists in ipa/session/login_password in all supported versions of IPA. This flaw allows an attacker to trick the user into submitting a request that could perform actions as the user, resulting in a loss of confidentiality and system integrity. During community penetration testing it was found that for certain HTTP end-points FreeIPA does not ensure CSRF protection. Due to implementation details one cannot use this flaw for reflection of a cookie representing already logged-in user. An attacker would always have to go through a new authentication attempt.

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

    Kerberos is a network authentication system, which can improve the security of your network by eliminating     the insecure practice of sending passwords over the network in unencrypted form. It allows clients and     servers to authenticate to each other with the help of a trusted third party, the Kerberos key     distribution center (KDC).

    Security Fix(es):

    * Kerberos: delegation constrain bypass in S4U2Proxy (CVE-2020-17049)

    * ipa: Invalid CSRF protection (CVE-2023-5455)

 - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in the way Key Distribution Center (KDC) determines if a service ticket can be used for delegation via Kerberos Constrained Delegation (KCD). To exploit the vulnerability, a compromised service that is configured to use KCD could tamper with a service ticket that is not valid for delegation to force the KDC to accept it. The update addresses this vulnerability by changing how the KDC validates service tickets used with KCD. (CVE-2020-17049)
