CVE-2026-71308

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

Lemur manages TLS certificate creation. From 0.5.0 until 1.9.3, certificate create, upload, and edit requests accepted replaces[] or replacements identifiers that AssociatedCertificateSchema resolved with fetch_objects without a CertificatePermission check. Assigning those objects to Certificate.replaces invoked an append listener that disabled the victim certificate notifications and marked it as replaced. The victim was then excluded from get_all_pending_reissue, and certificate_rotate could deploy the attacker certificate to endpoints serving the victim. An authenticated non-read-only user could target certificates for which the user had no ownership or role, suppress lifecycle automation, and cause fleet-wide TLS disruption or unauthorized substitution. The fix authorizes every referenced replacement certificate before mutation. This issue is fixed in version 1.9.3.

      "value": "Lemur gestiona la creación de certificados TLS. Desde la versión 0.5.0 hasta la 1.9.3, las solicitudes de creación, carga y edición de certificados aceptaban identificadores de replaces[] o replacements que AssociatedCertificateSchema resolvía con fetch_objects sin una verificación de CertificatePermission. Asignar esos objetos a Certificate.replaces invocaba un append listener que deshabilitaba las notificaciones del certificado víctima y lo marcaba como reemplazado. La víctima era entonces excluida de get_all_pending_reissue, y certificate_rotate podía desplegar el certificado del atacante a los puntos finales que servían a la víctima. Un usuario autenticado no de solo lectura podía atacar certificados sobre los cuales el usuario no tenía propiedad o rol, suprimir la automatización del ciclo de vida y causar una interrupción de TLS en toda la flota o una sustitución no autorizada. La solución autoriza cada certificado de reemplazo referenciado antes de la mutación. Este problema está solucionado en la versión 1.9.3."
