This Werk adds priviously missing CSRF-Token validation to various endpoints in WATO.
The lack of CSRF-Token validation could allow an attacker to perform actions on behalf of a user without their consent, by tricking the user into visiting clicking on a malicious link.
This vulnerability was identified during a commissioned penetration test conducted by PS Positive Security GmbH.

Displaying the version number on the login screen is generally regarded
as a security risk because it can enable attackers to identify potential
vulnerabilities associated with that specific version. Consequently, we
have changed the default setting to hide the version number. Users who wish
to view the version number can manually enable this option through the
Global Settings. It should be highlighted that users who have previously set
this option to show the version will not be affected by this change.
To aid automated scanning we assign a CVSS score of 0.0 (None) (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:N).

Prior to this Werk an attacher could add HTML to one parameter of the *Check SQL database* rule which was executed on the overview page.
We found this vulnerability internally.
**Affected Versions**:
LI: 2.3.0
LI: 2.2.0
LI: 2.1.0
LI: 2.0.0 (probably older versions as well)
**Indicators of Compromis**:
The creation of such rules is logged in the audit log. You can therefore check the `wato_audit.log` either on the terminal or in the UI for entries that contain malicious HTML.
**Vulnerability Management**:
We have rated the issue with a CVSS Score of 6.5 (Medium) with the following CVSS vector: `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L`
We assigned CVE-2024-6052 to this vulnerability.
**Changes**:
This Werk fixes the escaping.

# Synthetic Monitoring: Privilege Escalation

The Robotmk scheduler was affected by a privilege escalation issue. This issue affects users, which
have configured the rule `Robotmk scheduler (Windows)`. Specifically, an attacker is able to exploit
the issue, if
1. `Automated environment setup (via RCC)` was configured in the `Robotmk scheduler (Windows)` rule,
2. the same plan was configured without configuring `Execute plan as a specific user`
3. and a user on the host, onto which the scheduler has been deployed, was compromised.
In this event, the attacker could gain SYSTEM privileges on the host. If `Execute plan as a specific
user` _is_ configured, then the attacker could compromise that specific user, rather than SYSTEM.
There is a second similar, but distinct issue. If
- there are two or more plans configured with `Execute plan as a specific user` with distinct users
- and one of the configured users was already compromised.
The attacker could then compromise the other user.
*Background*:
The Robotmk scheduler is started by the Checkmk agent that runs with SYSTEM privileges.
Moreover, Robotmk allows the user to automatically build Python environments via RCC. During setup
the scheduler would enable a RCC feature called `shared holotree usage`. This feature allows all
users on the host to edit these Python environments. Thus, any compromised user on the host is also
able to compromise a user, which executes code from these shared environments.
With this Werk, `shared holotree usage` will no longer be enabled. Affected users will have their
access to the vulnerable Python environments revoked. Moreover, the permissions inside of the
working directory of Robotmk have been reworked. Users now only have access to directories, which
are required for their own executions.
Note, you must update both Checkmk and redeploy the latest Robotmk Scheduler.
*Affected Versions*:
* 2.3.0
*Mitigations*:
If updating is not possible:
* Do not use the rule `Automated environment setup (via RCC)`.
* Always use the same user for `Execute plan as a specific user`.
*Vulnerability Management*:
We have rated the issue with a CVSS Score of 7.8 (High) with the following CVSS vector:
`CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H` and requested a CVE.
