Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CISA ADP. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-862.
Summary
Keyfactor EJBCA through 9.3.3 performs insufficient authorization checks when a user self-renews a client certificate through the RA User Interface (CWE-862). A remote user with a valid TLS client certificate can renew that certificate even when the end entity status or profile settings should deny renewal. The attacker needs a valid client certificate and authorization to use the RA User Interface, either through the certificate or a role membership for PublicAccessAuthenticationToken.

Description from the CNA
Keyfactor EJBCA through 9.3.3 performs insufficient authorization checks when self-renewing a client certificate via the RA (Registration Authority) User Interface. This allows a remote user, authenticated with a valid client certificate, to renew their certificate even if the end entity status and/or profile settings should deny renewal. The attacker must have a valid TLS client certificate, and must be authorized to use the RA User Interface, either with the certificate, or via a role membership for PublicAccessAuthenticationToken.
