{"cve":"CVE-2026-54445","nvd":{"published":"2026-06-17T23:17:05.030","modified":"2026-06-23T15:44:39.343","status":"Deferred","description":"vantage6 is an open-source infrastructure for privacy preserving analysis. Versions prior to 5.0.0 provide an initial user with username `root` and password `root`. This is not ideal because attackers know that almost all vantage6 servers have a user with username `root` that probably has admin rights, and the initial password is very weak and it is possible that administrators forget to reset it. Version 5.0.0 fixes the issue. As a workaround, it is possible to delete the `root` user after it has been used to create other users.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":6.9},"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":["CWE-204","CWE-1393"],"references":["https://github.com/vantage6/vantage6/blob/main/docs/release_notes.rst#500","https://github.com/vantage6/vantage6/issues/1932","https://github.com/vantage6/vantage6/security/advisories/GHSA-fgmc-2hqj-86v4"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:39:28.638635428+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-54445","score":0.00292,"percentile":0.21813,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-fgmc-2hqj-86v4","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-fgmc-2hqj-86v4","summary":"Vantage6: Set admin user and password from environment or configuration","modified":"2026-07-13T16:42:58.865847455Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"vantage6","purl":"pkg:pypi/vantage6","ranges":["<5.0.0"],"fixed":["5.0.0"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2026-3400","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2026-3400","summary":"Vantage6: Set admin user and password from environment or configuration","modified":"2026-07-13T16:33:32.067229507Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"vantage6","purl":"pkg:pypi/vantage6","ranges":["<5.0.0"],"fixed":["5.0.0"]}]}],"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).
