Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2014:1194 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Moderate: conga security and bug fix update 2014-09-16 09:28:53 UTC

Description Vincent Danen 2014-06-24 17:54:59 UTC
Various components in the /luci/homebase and /luci/cluster menu, which should be restricted to administrative users only, are exposed to any logged-in (non-administrative, but authenticated) user if visited with a specially constructed URL.  This could allow an authenticated, non-administrative, user to, among others: add new users, add systems, remove clusters from conga, and view logs.

This particular issue affects luci, as included in conga, and does not affect luci otherwise.
