- Published

- Reserved
- Assigned by
- Fortra
Description
An authentication bypass vulnerability has been identified in the REST and SOAP API components of Tripwire Enterprise (TE) 9.1.0 when TE is configured to use LDAP/Active Directory SAML authentication and its optional "Auto-synchronize LDAP Users, Roles, and Groups" feature is enabled. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication if a valid username is known. Exploitation of this vulnerability could allow remote attackers to gain privileged access to the APIs and lead to unauthorized information disclosure or modification.

Weakness
Affected products
- affected 9.1.0
What to do
Solution: Upgrade to Tripwire Enterprise 9.1.1 or higher to remediate the vulnerability.
Workaround: To mitigate this issue in TE 9.1.0, disable the "Auto-synchronize LDAP Users, Roles, and Groups" feature when using LDAP/Active Directory SAML authentication. Be aware that doing so will disable API functionality. To continue using the APIs, configure an alternate login method or upgrade to TE 9.1.1 or higher.
