CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/287.html

An authentication bypass vulnerability has been identified in Foreman when deployed with External Authentication, due to the puppet-foreman configuration. This issue arises from Apaches mod_proxy not properly unsetting headers because of restrictions on underscores in HTTP headers, allowing authentication through a malformed header. This flaw impacts all active Satellite deployments (6.13, 6.14 and 6.15) and could potentially enable unauthorized users to gain administrative access.

Weakness

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