Technical details

P4 Search trusts a client-supplied address when validating authentication requests, failing to properly enforce host-based ticket restrictions and trusted-address controls. An attacker in possession of a valid P4 Server ticket can spoof their client IP address to bypass these restrictions. The vulnerability requires a stolen or compromised ticket but does not require network access from the ticket's legitimate origin.
