CVE-2020-11631: Primekey Ejbca

Medium severity, CVSS 6.5. EPSS: 1.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

An issue was discovered in EJBCA before 6.15.2.6 and 7.x before 7.3.1.2. An error state can be generated in the CA UI by a malicious user. This, in turn, allows exploitation of other bugs. This follow-on exploitation can lead to privilege escalation and remote code execution. (This is exploitable only when at least one accessible port lacks a requirement for client certificate authentication. These ports are 8442 or 8080 in a standard installation.)

Affected products

• Primekey Ejbca: before 6.15.2.6 (fixed in 6.15.2.6); from 7.0.0, before 7.3.1.2 (fixed in 7.3.1.2)
