Overview

CVE-2014-0188 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting redhat openshift. It was published on April 24, 2014 and has a CVSS 2.0 base score of 7.5 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 2.0 base score of 7.5, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical Description

The openshift-origin-broker in Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 2.0.5, 1.2.7, and earlier does not properly handle authentication requests from the remote-user auth plugin, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and impersonate arbitrary users via the X-Remote-User header in a request to a passthrough trigger.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from redhat. Update openshift to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
