Pcs · Pcs · CVE-2018-1086
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
pcs versions prior to 0.9.164
pcs version 0.10 and earlier
**Description**
The issue concerns a debug parameter removal bypass in the pcsd service's REST interface. Specifically, the `/run pcs` query did not properly remove the pcs debug argument, which could potentially disclose sensitive information. A remote attacker with a valid token could exploit this flaw to elevate their privilege.
**Recommendations**
For pcs versions prior to 0.9.164, update to version 0.9.164 or later to resolve the issue.
For pcs version 0.10 and earlier, update to a version later than 0.10 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `/run pcs` query to minimize the risk of exploitation.
