Crateio · Cratedb · CVE-2023-51982
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
CrateDB version 5.5.1
**Description**
The issue is related to an authentication bypass vulnerability in the Admin UI component. After configuring password authentication, identity authentication can be bypassed by setting the `X-Real-IP` request header to a specific value and accessing the Admin UI directly using the default user identity.
**Recommendations**
For CrateDB version 5.5.1, consider disabling access to the Admin UI until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of the default user identity to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the `X-Real-IP` request header in the affected Admin UI component until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
