{"id":"CVE-2021-45083","aliases":["GHSA-5946-mpw5-pqxx","PYSEC-2022-38"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2021-45083","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.","published":"2022-02-20T18:15:07.580Z","modified":"2026-07-08T06:00:05.638881695Z","cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"cobbler","fixedVersion":"3.3.1"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/TEJN7CPW6YCHBFQPFZKGA6AVA6T5NPIW/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/Z5CSXQE7Q4TVDQJKFYBO4XDH3BZ7BLAR/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/ZCXMOUW4DH4DYWIJN44SMSU6R3CZDZBE/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/releases"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1193671"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2022/02/18/3"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-07-08T06:00:05.638881695Z"}}
