Parameter Value
CVSS 8.1 (CRITICAL)
Affected Versions before 4.13.3
Fixed In 4.13.3
Type CWE-266 (Incorrect Privilege Assignment)
Vendor Freeipa
Public PoC No

A flaw was found in FreeIPA. When a trust relationship is configured between FreeIPA and Active Directory, Active Directory users can bypass authentication for FreeIPA services, including the portal, SMB server, and LDAP directory. This is possible by impersonating a client name in the Ticket Granting Service (TGS) due to FreeIPA services not verifying Privilege Attribute Certificate (PAC) certificates.

This vulnerability could allow an authenticated Active Directory user to escalate their privileges within the FreeIPA domain.
