Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Caldera versions prior to 2.6.5
Description
The issue is related to the auth svc function in Caldera, which allows authentication bypass for REST API requests. This can be achieved by forging a "localhost" string in the HTTP Host header, potentially enabling a remote attacker to elevate their privileges.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 2.6.5, update to version 2.6.5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the REST API to minimize the risk of exploitation.
