Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-6639 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Debian Debian Linux. 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-2012-6639/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-6639/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-6639","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-6639/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-6639","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2012-6639","GHSA-53qp-p4j3-jj3w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cloud instance initialization","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges by submitting requests to an untrusted system for EC2 instance data in cloud-init.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"cloud-init","vendor":"canonical"},{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"linux_enterprise_server","vendor":"suse"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"An privilege elevation vulnerability exists in Cloud-init before 0.7.0 when requests to an untrusted system are submitted for EC2 instance data.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Privilege escalation in cloud-init","id":"CVE-2012-6639","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"debian:debian_linux","products":["debian:debian_linux","suse:linux_enterprise_server"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-6640"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-6638"},"products":["cloud-init"],"published":"2019-11-25","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in cloud-init","id":"CVE-2024-6174","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-26"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"Privilege escalation in cloud-init","id":"CVE-2024-11584","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-26"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"sensitive data exposure in cloud-init logs","id":"CVE-2023-1786","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-26"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"sensitive data exposure in cloud-init logs","id":"CVE-2021-3429","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-19"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"sensitive data exposure in cloud-init logs","id":"CVE-2022-2084","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-19"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-8631","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-05"}],"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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["cloud-init"]},"summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges by submitting requests to an untrusted system for EC2 instance data in cloud-init.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-6639/"}
