A flaw was found in Ansible Tower, versions 3.6.x before 3.6.2 and 3.5.x before 3.5.3, where enabling RabbitMQ manager by setting it with -e rabbitmq_enable_manager=true exposes the RabbitMQ management interface publicly, as expected. If the default admin user is still active, an attacker could guess the password and gain access to the system.
Weakness
The product initializes or sets a resource with a default that is intended to be changed by the product’s installer, administrator, or maintainer, but the default is not secure.
