CVE-2019-19342: Red Hat Ansible Tower

Medium severity, CVSS 5.3. EPSS: 1.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A flaw was found in Ansible Tower, versions 3.6.x before 3.6.2 and 3.5.x before 3.5.4, when /websocket is requested and the password contains the '#' character. This request would cause a socket error in RabbitMQ when parsing the password and an HTTP error code 500 and partial password disclose will occur in plaintext. An attacker could easily guess some predictable passwords or brute force the password.

Affected products

• Red Hat Ansible Tower: from 3.5.0, before 3.5.4 (fixed in 3.5.4); from 3.6.0, before 3.6.2 (fixed in 3.6.2)
