{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2020-15115","details":"etcd before versions 3.3.23 and 3.4.10 does not perform any password length validation, which allows for very short passwords, such as those with a length of one. This may allow an attacker to guess or brute-force users' passwords with little computational effort.","modified":"2026-07-02T18:00:40.939589053Z","published":"2020-08-06T22:15:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2020-15115"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2020-15115"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/security/advisories/GHSA-4993-m7g5-r9hh"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2020-15115"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"etcd","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/etcd?arch=source&distro=xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.2.0+dfsg-2","2.2.1+dfsg-1","2.2.2+dfsg-1","2.2.2+dfsg-2","2.2.3+dfsg-1","2.2.5+dfsg-1","2.2.5+dfsg-1ubuntu1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"etcd","binary_version":"2.2.5+dfsg-1ubuntu1"},{"binary_version":"2.2.5+dfsg-1ubuntu1","binary_name":"golang-etcd-server-dev"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2020/UBUNTU-CVE-2020-15115.json"}},{"package":{"name":"etcd","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/etcd?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fbionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.1.0-1","3.2.9+dfsg-2","3.2.9+dfsg-3","3.2.17+dfsg-1","3.2.17+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1~esm1","3.2.17+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1","3.2.17+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1+esm1","3.2.17+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1+esm2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"etcd","binary_version":"3.2.17+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1+esm2"},{"binary_version":"3.2.17+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1+esm2","binary_name":"etcd-client"},{"binary_name":"etcd-server","binary_version":"3.2.17+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1+esm2"},{"binary_name":"golang-etcd-server-dev","binary_version":"3.2.17+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1+esm2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2020/UBUNTU-CVE-2020-15115.json"}},{"package":{"name":"etcd","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/etcd?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Ffocal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.2.26+dfsg-3","3.2.26+dfsg-4","3.2.26+dfsg-6","3.2.26+dfsg-6ubuntu0.1","3.2.26+dfsg-6ubuntu0.2","3.2.26+dfsg-6ubuntu0.2+esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"etcd","binary_version":"3.2.26+dfsg-6ubuntu0.2+esm1"},{"binary_name":"etcd-client","binary_version":"3.2.26+dfsg-6ubuntu0.2+esm1"},{"binary_name":"etcd-server","binary_version":"3.2.26+dfsg-6ubuntu0.2+esm1"},{"binary_name":"golang-etcd-server-dev","binary_version":"3.2.26+dfsg-6ubuntu0.2+esm1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2020/UBUNTU-CVE-2020-15115.json"}},{"package":{"name":"etcd","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/etcd?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fjammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.3.25+dfsg-6","3.3.25+dfsg-7","3.3.25+dfsg-7ubuntu0.22.04.1","3.3.25+dfsg-7ubuntu0.22.04.1+esm1","3.3.25+dfsg-7ubuntu0.22.04.2","3.3.25+dfsg-7ubuntu0.22.04.2+esm1","3.3.25+dfsg-7ubuntu0.22.04.2+esm2","3.3.25+dfsg-7ubuntu0.22.04.2+esm3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"3.3.25+dfsg-7ubuntu0.22.04.2+esm3","binary_name":"etcd"},{"binary_version":"3.3.25+dfsg-7ubuntu0.22.04.2+esm3","binary_name":"etcd-client"},{"binary_name":"etcd-server","binary_version":"3.3.25+dfsg-7ubuntu0.22.04.2+esm3"},{"binary_name":"golang-etcd-server-dev","binary_version":"3.3.25+dfsg-7ubuntu0.22.04.2+esm3"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2020/UBUNTU-CVE-2020-15115.json"}},{"package":{"name":"etcd","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/etcd?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fnoble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.4.23-4ubuntu2","3.4.30-1","3.4.30-1build1","3.4.30-1ubuntu0.24.04.1","3.4.30-1ubuntu0.24.04.2","3.4.30-1ubuntu0.24.04.2+esm1","3.4.30-1ubuntu0.24.04.3","3.4.30-1ubuntu0.24.04.3+esm1","3.4.30-1ubuntu0.24.04.3+esm2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"3.4.30-1ubuntu0.24.04.3+esm2","binary_name":"etcd-client"},{"binary_name":"etcd-server","binary_version":"3.4.30-1ubuntu0.24.04.3+esm2"},{"binary_name":"golang-etcd-server-dev","binary_version":"3.4.30-1ubuntu0.24.04.3+esm2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2020/UBUNTU-CVE-2020-15115.json"}},{"package":{"name":"etcd","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:25.10","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/etcd?arch=source&distro=questing"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.5.16-4"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"3.5.16-4","binary_name":"etcd-client"},{"binary_name":"etcd-server","binary_version":"3.5.16-4"},{"binary_name":"golang-etcd-server-dev","binary_version":"3.5.16-4"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2020/UBUNTU-CVE-202
