HTCondor up to and including stable series 8.8.6 and development series 8.9.4 has Incorrect Access Control. It is possible to use a different authentication method to submit a job than the administrator has specified. If the administrator has configured the READ or WRITE methods to include CLAIMTOBE, then it is possible to impersonate another user to the condor_schedd. (For example to submit or remove jobs)

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - HTCondor up to and including stable series 8.8.6 and development series 8.9.4 has Incorrect Access     Control. It is possible to use a different authentication method to submit a job than the administrator     has specified. If the administrator has configured the READ or WRITE methods to include CLAIMTOBE, then it     is possible to impersonate another user to the condor_schedd. (For example to submit or remove jobs)     (CVE-2019-18823)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5144 advisory.

    Several flaws have been discovered in HTCondor, a distributed workload management system, which allow     users with only READ access to any daemon to use a different authentication method than the administrator     has specified. If the administrator has configured the READ or WRITE methods to include CLAIMTOBE, then it     is possible to impersonate another user and submit or remove jobs. For the oldstable distribution     (buster), these problems have been fixed in version 8.6.8~dfsg.1-2+deb10u1. We recommend that you upgrade     your condor packages.
