Go to dashboardCobbler's XMLRPC API at /cobbler_api does not properly validate security tokens, so a network attacker can act with more privilege than granted. The sources say this can lead to privilege escalation, data manipulation or exfiltration, and harvesting of LDAP credentials.

Teams that run Cobbler as a provisioning server with its XMLRPC API reachable over the network are exposed. The advisory notes that older versions than 2.6.11 may also be affected, so the exposure window is not fully bounded. Installations where the API is not reachable from untrusted networks are less exposed.
| Product | Ecosystem | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| cobbler | pypi | <= 2.6.11 | 3.0.0 |
| cobblerd cobbler | vendor | >= 2.0.0 | – |
cobbler version or pip show cobbler, and treat anything at or below 2.6.11 as affected./cobbler_api endpoint on the Cobbler web server.3.0.0 or later, the fixed version named in the advisory./cobbler_api.Each row is the first time that source carried this signal. The analyst’s rows are its own findings.
