5.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:NCVE-2021-31232
Medium (5.5) in linuxfoundation cortex. EPSS 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in github.com/cortexproject/cortex 1.8.1.
The Alertmanager in CNCF Cortex before 1.8.1 has a local file disclosure vulnerability when -experimental.alertmanager.enable-api is used. The HTTP basic auth password_file can be used as an attack vector to send any file content via a webhook. The alertmanager templates can be used as an attack vector to send any file content because the alertmanager can load any text file specified in the templates list.
