Insufficiently Protected Credentials

CVE-2020-10755

Medium
6.5/10

Summary

An insecure-credentials flaw was found in openstack-cinder before 14.2.0, versions 15.x before 15.3.0, and versions 16.x before 16.1.0, and openstack-os-brick before 2.8.5, versions 2.10.x before 2.10.3, and versions 3.x before 3.0.2. When using openstack-cinder with the Dell EMC ScaleIO or VxFlex OS backend storage driver, credentials for the entire backend are exposed in the ``connection_info`` element in all Block Storage v3 Attachments API calls containing that element. This flaw enables an end-user to create a volume, make an API call to show the attachment detail information, and retrieve a username and password that may be used to connect to another user's volume. Additionally, these credentials are valid for the ScaleIO or VxFlex OS Management API, should an attacker discover the Management API endpoint. Source: OpenStack project
