Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Stuart Auchterlonie 2017-01-06 20:44:23 UTC 
Description of problem:

When using a user with restricted rights I can add repositories
that I should not be allowed to.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

6.2.2 - 6.2.6

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. The role assigned to the user has the following permission set

# hammer -u admin -p redhat role filters --id=22
----|-------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|------------|---------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ID  | RESOURCE TYPE           | SEARCH                                                          | UNLIMITED? | ROLE    | PERMISSIONS

2. Identify a repo which does not meet the above filter

# hammer -u admin -p redhat repository list | grep ^4
4   | Red Hat Software Collections RPMs for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server x86_6... | Red Hat Software Collections for RHEL Server | yum          | https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7Server/x86_64/rhscl/1/os     

3. Verify the user cannot see it

# hammer -u limited -p redhat repository list | grep ^4
<no output> as this repository doesn't match the search filter

4. Add the repository to the content view

# hammer -u limited -p redhat content-view add-repository --repository-id=4 --name Test_A_QA --organization ACME
The repository has been associated

Actual results:

Step 4 succeeds in adding a repository that doesn't match the search filter

Expected results:

Step 4 should fail since the repository doesn't match the search filter

Additional info:

5. # hammer -u limited -p redhat repository list | grep ^4
4   | Red Hat Software Collections RPMs for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server x86_6... | Red Hat Software Collections for RHEL Server | yum          | https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7Server/x86_64/rhscl/1/os  

Not only has it been associated, it's now returned in the list of repositories,
again despite it not matching the search filter.

Comment 7 Jonathon Turel 2017-08-14 16:26:39 UTC 
Thank you for reporting this issue. I've been able to reproduce it and make some determinations about what is happening.

The resource described (repository) is part of Katello. Unfortunately, it appears that all Katello resources would exhibit this behavior due to the fact that we are not completely integrated with the Foreman authentication scheme (or any other scheme would would verify the user's role 'search' filters).

Getting this working, though we've identified a feasible approach, requires a wide and significant number of changes. Due to the timing and risk I'm setting this back to NEW until we can figure out when to address the problem.

Comment 14 Karl Abbott 2018-02-13 16:04:12 UTC 
I'd like to ask that we consider this for a 6.3.z release formally.

This does make our RBAC controls look rather ineffective as this exploit directly ignores them. Given that we want people to trust our RBAC controls, I think that we need to consider the perception issue here and push to get this fixed asap.

I understand that this is a LOW vulnerability due to the fact that it's unlikely to be exploited in any meaningful way, but there is definitely a perception issue that is caused by this ignorance of the Satellite RBAC model.

Cheers,
Karl
Comment 15 Brad Buckingham 2018-03-15 12:34:51 UTC 
Karl,

Unfortunately, due to the extent of the changes that are going to be required to address this, 6.3.z is very unlikely.  That said, once we have a fix in place we can assess the feasibility of backporting.
