Q1What is this vulnerability? (Essence + Consequences)
π¨ **Essence**: Keylime (v7.12.0 & older) fails to enforce client TLS authentication. π **Consequences**: Unauthenticated clients can execute management operations, compromising system integrity and confidentiality.
Q2Root Cause? (CWE/Flaw)
π‘οΈ **Root Cause**: **CWE-322** (Key Exchange Without Entity Authentication). The flaw lies in missing client-side TLS verification, allowing identity spoofing.
Q3Who is affected? (Versions/Components)
π¦ **Affected**: **Keylime** versions **7.12.0 and earlier**. Specifically noted in **Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10** context. π’ **Vendor**: Red Hat.
Q4What can hackers do? (Privileges/Data)
π **Attacker Capabilities**: Execute **management operations** without valid credentials. β οΈ **Impact**: High Integrity (I:H) and High Availability (A:H) impact. Low Confidentiality (C:L) impact.
Q5Is exploitation threshold high? (Auth/Config)
π **Exploitation**: **Low Threshold**. CVSS indicates **AV:N** (Network), **AC:L** (Low Complexity), **PR:N** (No Privileges Required), **UI:N** (No User Interaction). Easy to exploit remotely.
Q6Is there a public Exp? (PoC/Wild Exploitation)
π΅οΈ **Public Exploit**: **No**. The `pocs` array is empty. No public Proof-of-Concept or wild exploitation code is currently available in the data.
Q7How to self-check? (Features/Scanning)
π **Self-Check**: Scan for **Keylime** services. Verify if the version is **β€ 7.12.0**. Check if TLS client authentication is enforced in the configuration. Look for unauthenticated API access.
Q8Is it fixed officially? (Patch/Mitigation)
β **Fix**: **Yes**. Official vendor advisories exist: **RHSA-2026:2225**, **RHSA-2026:2224**, and **RHSA-2026:2298**. Update to the patched version immediately.
Q9What if no patch? (Workaround)
π§ **No Patch Workaround**: Enforce strict **TLS client certificate authentication** at the network/load balancer level. Restrict access to Keylime management interfaces via firewall rules.
Q10Is it urgent? (Priority Suggestion)
π₯ **Urgency**: **HIGH**. CVSS Score implies significant risk (High Integrity/Availability). Network-accessible with no auth required. Patch ASAP via Red Hat Errata.
