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-2018-16856 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- octavia (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.1.0\n- octavia (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.1.0\n- octavia (PyPI): affected from 3.0.0; fixed in 3.0.2, 2.0.3\n- octavia (PyPI): affected from 3.0.0.0b1; fixed in 3.1.0\n- octavia (PyPI): affected from 3.0.0.0b1; fixed in 3.1.0\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-2018-16856/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16856/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-16856","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16856/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-16856","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qcj3-h27m-mp9x","PYSEC-2019-193","RHSA-2019:0567","RHSA-2019:0593","UBUNTU-CVE-2018-16856"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenStack Octavia","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can read sensitive private keys from world-readable log files in default OpenStack Octavia installations, leading to information exposure.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"octavia","vendor":"openstack"},{"product":"openstack","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","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-532","name":"Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File"}],"description":"In a default Red Hat Openstack Platform Director installation, openstack-octavia before versions openstack-octavia 2.0.2-5 and openstack-octavia-3.0.1-0.20181009115732 creates log files that are readable by all users.
