{"id":"GHSA-5946-mpw5-pqxx","summary":"Incorrect Default Permissions in Cobbler","details":"An issue was discovered in Cobbler before 3.3.1. Files in /etc/cobbler are world readable. Two of those files contain some sensitive information that can be exposed to a local user who has non-privileged access to the server. The users.digest file contains the sha2-512 digest of users in a Cobbler local installation. In the case of an easy-to-guess password, it's trivial to obtain the plaintext string. The settings.yaml file contains secrets such as the hashed default password.","aliases":["CVE-2021-45083","PYSEC-2022-38"],"modified":"2026-08-24T00:34:31.669886550Z","published":"2022-02-21T00:00:20Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-276"],"severity":"HIGH","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2022-03-08T18:49:35Z","nvd_published_at":"2022-02-20T18:15:00Z"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-45083"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/pull/2945"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/commit/10b2112db83fedfc391e900edfedc2b4e507d3f7"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1193671"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-5946-mpw5-pqxx"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/releases"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/releases/tag/v3.3.1"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/pypa/advisory-database/tree/main/vulns/cobbler/PYSEC-2022-38.yaml"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/TEJN7CPW6YCHBFQPFZKGA6AVA6T5NPIW"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/Z5CSXQE7Q4TVDQJKFYBO4XDH3BZ7BLAR"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/ZCXMOUW4DH4DYWIJN44SMSU6R3CZDZBE"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2022/02/18/3"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"cobbler","ecosystem":"PyPI","purl":"pkg:pypi/cobbler"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.3.1"}]}],"versions":["0.6.3-2","3.1.2","3.2.1","3.2.2","3.2.3","3.3.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2022/02/GHSA-5946-mpw5-pqxx/GHSA-5946-mpw5-pqxx.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
