An issue was discovered in Quest KACE Systems Deployment Appliance (SMA) 11.0.273. If a customer restricts access to the web console by IP address or subnets, the API endpoints are not restricted. If credentials/API keys are known to an attacker, the appliance can still be accessed via the API, leading to a potential compromise of the entire environment that is configured for KACE.
