CVE-2011-2920: Spacewalk: spacewalk: cross-site scripting vulnerability allows arbitrary web script execution.

A flaw was found in Spacewalk and Red Hat Network Satellite. This cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary web script or HTML into web pages through various input fields, such as the "Filter by Synopsis" field. This could lead to the execution of malicious code in a user's web browser, potentially compromising user sessions or disclosing sensitive information.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2011-2920 is a cross-site scripting flaw in Spacewalk and Red Hat Network Satellite. An authenticated remote attacker could place malicious script or HTML into web fields, causing it to run in another user's browser. Business impact is mainly account/session compromise and possible exposure of sensitive management data. Most relevant exposure is legacy Spacewalk or Red Hat Network Satellite environments, plus listed Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6/7 RHN-related packages. Internet exposure is not established by the bundle; assess where the management web interface is reachable and who can submit affected fields. Treat this as a moderate legacy-platform risk. Prioritize if Spacewalk or RHN Satellite is still used for system management, especially where many administrators access shared views or the interface is broadly reachable. Mitigation focus: Check Red Hat RHSA-2011-1299 and Spacewalk guidance for supported updates.; Apply vendor-provided fixes where affected Spacewalk or Satellite components are present.; Limit access to management web interfaces to trusted networks and users..
