CVE-2019-3878
26.03.2019, 18:29
A vulnerability was found in mod_auth_mellon before v0.14.2. If Apache is configured as a reverse proxy and mod_auth_mellon is configured to only let through authenticated users (with the require valid-user directive), adding special HTTP headers that are normally used to start the special SAML ECP (non-browser based) can be used to bypass authentication.Enginsight

Common Weakness Enumeration
- CWE-305 - Authentication Bypass by Primary WeaknessThe authentication algorithm is sound, but the implemented mechanism can be bypassed as the result of a separate weakness that is primary to the authentication error.
- CWE-287 - Improper AuthenticationWhen an actor claims to have a given identity, the software does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
