What is CVE-2023-47112?

CVE-2023-47112 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in org.rundeck:rundeckapp (maven), affecting versions >= 4.17.0, < 4.17.3. It is fixed in 4.17.3. The application does not perform an authorization check before performing a sensitive operation.

How severe is CVE-2023-47112?

CVE-2023-47112 has a CVSS score of 4.3 (Medium). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.

Which versions of org.rundeck:rundeckapp are affected by CVE-2023-47112?

org.rundeck:rundeckapp (maven) versions >= 4.17.0, < 4.17.3 is affected.

Is there a fix for CVE-2023-47112?

Yes. CVE-2023-47112 is fixed in 4.17.3. Upgrade to this version or later.

Is CVE-2023-47112 exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether CVE-2023-47112 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

What actually determines whether CVE-2023-47112 is exploitable, and how bad it is?

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.

Summary

Authenticated users can view job names and groups they do not have authorization to view

Access to two URLs used in both Rundeck Open Source and Process Automation products could allow authenticated users to access the URL path, which provides a list of job names and groups for any project, without the necessary authorization checks.

The affected URLs are:

http[s]://[host]/context/rdJob/*
http[s]://[host]/context/api/*/incubator/jobs

The output of these endpoints only exposes the name of job groups and the jobs contained within the specified project. The output is read-only and the access does not allow changes to the information.

Patched versions: 4.17.3

Workarounds

Access to two URLs used in either Rundeck Open Source or Process Automation products could be blocked at a load balancer level.

http[s]://host/context/rdJob/*
http[s]://host/context/api/*/incubator/jobs

Impact

Rundeck, Process Automation version 4.17.0 up to 4.17.2

The application does not perform an authorization check before performing a sensitive operation. Typical impact: unauthorized access to restricted functionality or data.

CVE-2023-47112 has a CVSS score of 4.3 (Medium). The vector is network-reachable, low privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. A fixed version is available (4.17.3); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

Affected versions

org.rundeck:rundeckapp (>= 4.17.0, < 4.17.3)

Security releases

org.rundeck:rundeckapp → 4.17.3 (maven)

Kodem intelligence

Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.

Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.
