# CVE-2024-47533 – Cobbler XML-RPC Authentication Bypass Exploit
## 📜 Description
CVE-2024-47533 is a **critical authentication bypass vulnerability** in [Cobbler](https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler), a Linux installation server that automates network-based OS installs.
The flaw is caused by an issue in `utils.get_shared_secret()` which **always returns `-1`**, enabling **unauthenticated** access to the Cobbler XML-RPC API.
An attacker can connect with:
- **Username:** `""` (empty string)
- **Password:** `-1`
This grants **administrator-level access** to perform actions like adding distros, managing profiles, or executing system commands via Cobbler.
- **Affected Versions:** 3.0.0 → before 3.2.3 and 3.3.0 → before 3.3.7
- **Patched Versions:** 3.2.3 and 3.3.7
- **CVSS Score:** 9.8 (Critical)
