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.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","score":7.1},"cwes":["CWE-276"],"references":["https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1193671","https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/releases","https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/TEJN7CPW6YCHBFQPFZKGA6AVA6T5NPIW/","https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/Z5CSXQE7Q4TVDQJKFYBO4XDH3BZ7BLAR/","https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/ZCXMOUW4DH4DYWIJN44SMSU6R3CZDZBE/"],"products":["cobbler_project:cobbler","fedoraproject:fedora"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:28:04.509275555+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2021-45083","score":0.00311,"percentile":0.23979,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-5946-mpw5-pqxx","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-5946-mpw5-pqxx","summary":"Incorrect Default Permissions in Cobbler","modified":"2026-09-10T03:49:11.546482966Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"cobbler","purl":"pkg:pypi/cobbler","ranges":["<3.3.1"],"fixed":["3.3.1"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2022-38","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2022-38","summary":"","modified":"2025-10-09T08:23:55.020259Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"cobbler","purl":"pkg:pypi/cobbler","ranges":["<3.3.1"],"fixed":["3.3.1"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
