Technical impact
A weakness in the Obsidian REST component of Linux Foundation Magma allows an attacker to manipulate the X‑Magma‑Client‑Cert‑Serial header, leading to authentication bypass. The flaw exists in an unidentified function in operator.go and can be exploited remotely, permitting unauthorized impersonation of legitimate clients and access to restricted resources.
Affected Systems
Linux Foundation Magma versions up to 1.9.0 are affected, specifically within the Obsidian REST service that processes the X‑Magma‑Client‑Cert‑Serial header during authentication.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates moderate severity, the attack vector is remote via HTTP header manipulation, EPSS data is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting a lower current exploitation probability but still requiring vigilance.
