{"cve":"CVE-2026-92747","nvd":{"published":"2026-09-18T18:18:16.547","modified":"2026-10-21T14:17:22.270","status":"Awaiting Analysis","description":"A flaw was found in `cockpit-machines`. This vulnerability allows a local attacker with the ability to inspect running processes to expose sensitive guest virtual machine (VM) credentials, such as `rootPassword` and `userPassword`. This occurs when the `install_machine.py` script passes these credentials as a JSON command-line argument during VM creation or installation. The exposure is limited to the period when the installation workflow is active and depends on host process-visibility policies.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","score":5.0},"cwes":["CWE-214"],"references":["https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:86970","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:86971","https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-92747","https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2469260","https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2469260"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-22T16:41:11.231219466+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-92747","score":0.00165,"percentile":0.0569,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"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).
