7.5/10

Summary

The installation documentation for Red Hat Enterprise Messaging, Realtime and Grid (MRG) 1.3 recommends that Condor should be configured so that the MRG Management Console (cumin) can submit jobs for users, which creates a trusted channel with insufficient access control that allows local users with the ability to publish to a broker to run jobs as arbitrary users via Condor QMF plug-ins.

CWE-264 - Permissions Privileges and Access Controls

CWE 264 (permissions, privileges, and access controls) is not a weakness in and of itself, rather it is a category of weaknesses related to the management of permissions, privileges, and other security features used to perform access control. If not addressed, the weaknesses in this category allow attackers to gain privileges for an unintended sphere of control, access sensitive information, and execute arbitrary commands.
