Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Ansible Tower versions prior to 3.0.3
Description
A privilege escalation flaw was found in Ansible Tower, where it incorrectly configures the trust level of the
postgres user when deploying a PostgreSQL database. This allows an attacker to gain admin level access to the database.Recommendations
For versions prior to 3.0.3, update to version 3.0.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the PostgreSQL database to minimize the risk of exploitation.
