AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Ipa versions 4.2.x through 4.4.2

Description The issue allows an authenticated, unprivileged attacker to modify certificate profiles in IdM's certprofile-mod command due to improper permission checks. This could enable the attacker to issue certificates with arbitrary naming or key usage information, potentially leading to further attacks.

Recommendations For Ipa versions 4.2.x, 4.3.x before 4.3.3, and 4.4.x before 4.4.3, update to version 4.3.3 or 4.4.3, respectively, to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the certprofile-mod command to minimize the risk of exploitation.
