CVE-2024-31463
Description
A vulnerability was found in Ironic-image. This issue occurs when setting IRONIC_REVERSE_PROXY_SETUP to 'true', which may allow unauthenticated local access to the Ironic API private port without authentication.
Statement
Red Hat rates this as a low impact vulnerability as expected this should be high complexity and requirements for an attacker to obtain benefits and privileges in an environment.
Mitigation
Below are two mitigations for this vulnerability:
1. Switch to using unix sockets for traffic between HTTPD and Ironic/Inspector (recommended). Set the variables IRONIC_PRIVATE_PORT and IRONIC_INSPECTOR_PRIVATE_PORT to the value unix.
OR
2. Temporarily stop using the reverse proxy mode (set IRONIC_REVERSE_PROXY_SETUP and INSPECTOR_REVERSE_PROXY_SETUP to false).
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
