Impact

An attacker can perform state-changing operations (password changes, fund transfers, data deletion) using the victim's authenticated session. With a CVSS score of 6.5 (MEDIUM), this represents a moderate risk.
Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker hosts a malicious page that, when visited by an authenticated user, silently submits a forged request to the target application using the user's cookies.

DescriptionCVE.org

A Cross-site request forgery vulnerability exists in ipa/session/login_password in all supported versions of IPA. This flaw allows an attacker to trick the user into submitting a request that could perform actions as the user, resulting in a loss of confidentiality and system integrity. During community penetration testing it was found that for certain HTTP end-points FreeIPA does not ensure CSRF protection. Due to implementation details one cannot use this flaw for reflection of a cookie representing already logged-in user. An attacker would always have to go through a new authentication attempt.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Organizations using ipa/session/login_password in all supported should be aware of notable risk from CVE-2023-5455, a cross-site request forgery vulnerability rated CVSS 6.5. Users could be tricked into performing unintended actions. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and monitor for exploitation.

Business Impact: Moderate
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. If patching is delayed: implement SameSite cookie attributes and anti-CSRF tokens.
