Description

Impact

When credentials are provided while creating an OnboardingTask they may be visible via the Job Results view under the Additional Data tab as args for the Celery Task execution. This only applies to OnboardingTasks that are created with credentials specified while on v2.0.0-2.0.2 of Nautobot Device Onboarding. This advisory does not apply earlier version or when using NAPALM_USERNAME & NAPALM_PASSWORD from nautobot_config.py

Patches

v3.0.0

Workarounds

None

Recommendations

  • Delete all Job Results for any onboarding task to remove clear text credentials from database entries that were run while on v2.0.X
  • Upgrade to v3.0.0
  • Rotate any exposed credential

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for nautobot-device-onboarding, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update nautobot-device-onboarding to 3.0.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2023-48700 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
