Unauthenticated Remote Wipe in FOG Imaging Suite

Publication date: 2026-07-21

Last updated on: 2026-07-21

Assigner: GitHub, Inc.

Description

FOG is a free open-source cloning/imaging/rescue suite/inventory management system. Prior to versions 1.5.10.1832 and 1.6.0-beta.2313, the `clearAES` and `clearPMTasks` methods in `FOGPage` can be invoked by an unauthenticated attacker via a single HTTP GET request through the public `client` node endpoint. This allows remote wiping of host AES encryption credentials and deletion of all power management scheduled tasks, with no login, session, or CSRF token required. Versions 1.5.10.1832 and 1.6.0-beta.2313 fix the issue.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability in FOG imaging software allows unauthenticated attackers to remotely wipe host AES encryption credentials and delete all power management tasks via HTTP GET requests to the public client node endpoint. The issue exists in the clearAES and clearPMTasks methods of FOGPage class.

Detection Guidance

Check FOG server logs for unusual GET requests to the client node endpoint targeting clearAES or clearPMTasks methods. Monitor for unexpected deletion of AES credentials or power management tasks without authentication.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to delete critical system configurations, remove encryption keys, and disrupt power management schedules. This could lead to data loss, system unavailability, or unauthorized access to encrypted data.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could violate compliance requirements for data protection and system integrity. GDPR requires adequate security measures for personal data, while HIPAA mandates protection of health information. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized data access or loss.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade FOG to version 1.5.10.1832 or 1.6.0-beta.2313 or later. If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict access to the client node endpoint via network firewall rules until patched.
