CVE-2019-10139
Description
A credential-protection flaw was found in cockpit-ovirt. During deployment, it generated an ansible variable file /var/lib/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/cockpit/ansibleVarFileXXXXXX.var which contained both admin and appliance passwords as plain-text. Although these files are deleted at the end of the deployment procedure, a local attacker could exploit this flaw to access the passwords.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
