An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2006-2229 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-2229/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-2229/index.md)","id":"CVE-2006-2229","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-2229/index.md","name":"CVE-2006-2229","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q6wh-cc86-fx6h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"configuration_change","impacts":["data_read","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"OpenVPN management interface","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can view sensitive information or cause denial of service if OpenVPN's management interface is exposed on a non-loopback IP with cleartext passwords.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"openvpn","vendor":"openvpn"},{"product":"openvpn_access_server","vendor":"openvpn"}],"cvss":{"score":4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"OpenVPN 2.0.7 and earlier, when configured to use the --management option with an IP that is not 127.0.0.1, uses a cleartext password for TCP sessions to the management interface, which might allow remote attackers to view sensitive information or cause a denial of service.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-2229","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2006"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-2230"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-2228"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2006-05-05","related":[{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Memory corruption in OpenVPN","id":"CVE-2025-12106","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-12-01"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Information disclosure in OpenVPN","id":"CVE-2024-5594","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-06"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-7544","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-16"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-1629","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-04-06"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in OpenVPN","id":"CVE-2024-4877","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-03"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Code injection in OpenVPN-GUI","id":"CVE-2021-3606","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-02"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-9336","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-05-01"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can view sensitive information or cause denial of service if OpenVPN's management interface is exposed on a non-loopback IP with cleartext passwords.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-2229/"}
