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-2020-8632 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-2020-8632/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8632/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-8632","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8632/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-8632","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2020-8632","GHSA-xcwr-9f5c-qg65","UBUNTU-CVE-2020-8632"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"cloud-init","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Weak default password length in cloud-init allows attackers to guess user passwords and potentially take over accounts.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"cloud-init","vendor":"canonical"},{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"leap","vendor":"opensuse"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-521","name":"Weak Password Requirements"}],"description":"In cloud-init through 19.4, rand_user_password in cloudinit/config/cc_set_passwords.py has a small default pwlen value, which makes it easier for attackers to guess passwords.","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":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-8632","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"debian:debian_linux","products":["debian:debian_linux","opensuse:leap"],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-8633"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-8631"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2020-02-05","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":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in cloud-init","id":"CVE-2012-6639","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-25"},{"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":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Weak default password length in cloud-init allows attackers to guess user passwords and potentially take over accounts.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8632/"}
