Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote

  • The injection point is the 'Mirror' field of the 'Adding a Repo' form in Cobbler's web UI/API — monitor or validate input to this field for shell metacharacters or command injection payloads
  • Cobbler versions up to and including 2.8.2 are vulnerable; presence of cobbler <= 2.8.2 on a host is an indicator of exposure
  • The vulnerable component is the 'add repo' functionality; audit cobbler API calls or web requests targeting repo-add/mirror endpoints for unsanitised shell characters
  • ·Red Hat Satellite 5 ships cobbler but the API password is a randomly generated 64-character string, making the API practically inaccessible; Red Hat rated this Low impact for that product and will not fix it
