Doc Text:
A vulnerability was found in the XML-RPC interface in supervisord. When processing malformed commands, an attacker can cause arbitrary shell commands to be executed on the server as the same user as supervisord. Exploitation requires the attacker to first be authenticated to the supervisord service.

Description Andrej Nemec 2017-07-28 06:57:02 UTC
 A vulnerability has been found where an authenticated client can send a malicious XML-RPC request to supervisord that will run arbitrary shell commands on the server. The commands will be run as the same user as supervisord. Depending on how supervisord has been configured, this may be root.

Comment 5 Jason Shepherd 2017-07-31 04:32:12 UTC
Supervisor is used by the Nagios componet of RHMAP. In the supervisor configuration the XMLRPC plugin is not enabled. Also the Nagios images only exposes port 8080 (httpd), not (9001) XMLRPC network port.

Marking RHMAP as not affected.

Comment 6 Kurt Seifried 2017-07-31 12:02:23 UTC
Updated CVSSv3 score to reflect the fact that while several products use this component they do not expose he supervisor service to the network by default. Downgrading to medium because of this and the fact that these products also do not have local untrusted user accounts.
