CVE-2018-1080 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Dogtag PKI, through version 10.6.1, has a vulnerability in AAclAuthz.java that, under certain configurations, causes the application of ACL allow and deny rules to be reversed. If a server is configured to process allow rules before deny rules (authz.evaluateOrder=allow,deny), then allow rules will deny access and deny rules will grant access. EPSS estimates a 1.52% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
