Description Kurt Seifried 2015-02-13 00:18:08 UTC
In Red Hat Satellite, the MongoDB database can be accessed by any malicious local user of the Satellite server and pulp_database content can be modified or deleted. Embedded MongoDB was introduced in Satellite 6.0 onward therefore, all the current Satellite active versions are affected by the flaw.
