It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-8391 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-2017-8391/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8391/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-8391","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8391/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-8391","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9f96-96vq-hqj3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"CA Client Automation","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local users can read an encrypted password from a file during OS installation, exposing sensitive credentials in CA Client Automation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"client_automation","vendor":"ca"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"}],"description":"The OS Installation Management component in CA Client Automation r12.9, r14.0, and r14.0 SP1 places an encrypted password into a readable local file during operating system installation, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading this file after operating system installation.","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-2017-8391","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8392"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8390"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-05-06","related":[{"cvss_score":4.6,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-3317","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-06-17"},{"cvss_score":4.6,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-3318","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-06-17"}],"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":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local users can read an encrypted password from a file during OS installation, exposing sensitive credentials in CA Client Automation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8391/"}
