Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-6918 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- salt (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2015.5.5\n- salt (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2015.5.5\n- salt (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2015.5.5\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-2015-6918/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-6918/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-6918","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-6918/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-6918","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q2x6-8gfj-hjxw","PYSEC-2017-70","UBUNTU-CVE-2015-6918"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Salt configuration management","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Salt leaks git usernames and passwords to logs, allowing attackers with log access to steal credentials.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"salt_2015","vendor":"saltstack"}],"cvss":{"score":6.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"salt before 2015.5.5 leaks git usernames and passwords to the log.","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"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":"salt leaks git usernames and passwords to the log","id":"CVE-2015-6918","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2015"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-6919"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2015.5.5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-q2x6-8gfj-hjxw"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2015.5.5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":"pkg:pypi/salt","source":"GHSA-q2x6-8gfj-hjxw"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2015.5.5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":"pkg:pypi/salt","source":"PYSEC-2017-70"}],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-6915"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-10-10","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"salt password information leaked in debug logs","id":"CVE-2015-6941","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-08-09"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"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":["n/a"]},"summary":"Salt leaks git usernames and passwords to logs, allowing attackers with log access to steal credentials.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-6918/"}
