CVE-2018-1245: Authorization ByPass Vulnerability

RSA Identity Lifecycle and Governance versions 7.0.1, 7.0.2 and 7.1.0 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability within the workflow architect component (ACM). A remote authenticated malicious user with non-admin privileges could potentially bypass the Java Security Policies. Once bypassed, a malicious user could potentially run arbitrary system commands at the OS level with application owner privileges on the affected system.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This vulnerability affects older RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle deployments. A non-admin authenticated user could bypass controls in the workflow architect component and potentially execute operating system commands with the application owner’s privileges. That makes it a high-impact identity-governance risk, especially on systems connected to privileged access or user lifecycle workflows. Exposure is limited to RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle versions 7.0.1, 7.0.2, and 7.1.0, all patch levels. Risk is highest where non-admin users can authenticate to the affected workflow architect component. The source bundle provides no CPEs or deployment prevalence data. Treat this as urgent for any affected RSA identity-governance system. The business risk is not broad unauthenticated internet compromise, but a logged-in low-privilege user potentially gaining OS command execution on a sensitive identity management platform. Mitigation focus: Identify RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle instances running affected versions.; Restrict non-admin access to the workflow architect component where operationally possible.; Review RSA DSA-2018-084 and vendor guidance for supported fixes or workarounds..
