A security flaw was found in Ansible Tower when requesting an OAuth2 token with an OAuth2 application. Ansible Tower uses the token to provide authentication. This flaw allows an attacker to obtain a refresh token that does not expire. The original token granted to the user still has access to Ansible Tower, which allows any user that can gain access to the token to be fully authenticated to Ansible Tower. This flaw affects Ansible Tower versions before 3.6.4 and Ansible Tower versions before 3.5.6.

Weakness

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Ansible_tower Redhat * 3.5.6 (excluding)
Ansible_tower Redhat 3.6.0 (including) 3.6.4 (excluding)
