Short explanation

Progress MarkLogic Server 12.x and 11.x releases contain an improper Kerberos server verification vulnerability in certain password-based authentication configurations [S0]. The flaw allows a network-positioned attacker to impersonate trusted authentication infrastructure [S0].

Why does it matter?

This vulnerability enables attackers to impersonate trusted authentication infrastructure, potentially resulting in unauthorized access or modification of protected data [S0].

What should be done?

  • Follow vendor advisories [S0]
  • Update affected versions [S1]
  • Review Kerberos configurations [S0]
Chain of evidence and sources2 verified claims

Show the technical text from the sources

Progress MarkLogic Server 12.x releases before 12.1.0 and 11.x releases before 11.3.7 do not sufficiently verify the identity of a Kerberos authentication service in certain password-based authentication configurations. A network-positioned attacker could impersonate trusted authentication infrastructure, potentially resulting in unauthorized access or modification of protected data.
