CVE-2018-1080

27
FAUCET Score

CVE-2018-1080 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting Dogtag PKI versions up to 10.6.1, where a misconfiguration in AAclAuthz.java can reverse the application of ACL allow and deny rules. This means that if a server is set to process allow rules before deny rules, allow rules will deny access and deny rules will grant access, potentially leading to privilege escalation or other unintended consequences. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 8.1 (High) due to its network-based attack vector, high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and high attack complexity. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
