Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3-pcp package and not the python3-pcp package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.3 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in PCP. The default pmproxy configuration exposes the Redis server backend to the local network, allowing remote command execution with the privileges of the Redis user. This issue can only be exploited when pmproxy is running. By default, pmproxy is not running and needs to be started manually. The pmproxy service is usually started from the 'Metrics settings' page of the Cockpit web interface. This flaw affects PCP versions 4.3.4 and newer.
