{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2022-46146","details":"Prometheus Exporter Toolkit is a utility package to build exporters. Prior to versions 0.7.2 and 0.8.2, if someone has access to a Prometheus web.yml file and users' bcrypted passwords, they can bypass security by poisoning the built-in authentication cache. Versions 0.7.2 and 0.8.2 contain a fix for the issue. There is no workaround, but attacker must have access to the hashed password to use this functionality.","modified":"2026-07-02T18:00:43.590525252Z","published":"2022-11-29T14:15:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2022-46146"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2022-46146"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2022/11/29/1"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/prometheus/exporter-toolkit/security/advisories/GHSA-7rg2-cxvp-9p7p"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/prometheus/exporter-toolkit/commit/5b1eab34484ddd353986bce736cd119d863e4ff5"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/prometheus/exporter-toolkit/commit/5b1eab34484ddd353986bce736cd119d863e4ff5"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2022/11/29/1"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2022/11/29/2"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2022/11/29/4"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2022-46146"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"prometheus","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/prometheus?arch=source&distro=xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.14.0+ds-1","0.16.2+ds-1","0.16.2+ds-1ubuntu1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"0.16.2+ds-1ubuntu1","binary_name":"prometheus"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2022/UBUNTU-CVE-2022-46146.json"}},{"package":{"name":"prometheus","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/prometheus?arch=source&distro=bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.7.1+ds-1","1.8.1+ds-2","2.1.0+ds-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"2.1.0+ds-1","binary_name":"prometheus"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2022/UBUNTU-CVE-2022-46146.json"}},{"package":{"name":"prometheus","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/prometheus?arch=source&distro=focal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.7.1+ds-3","2.15.2+ds-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"2.15.2+ds-2","binary_name":"prometheus"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2022/UBUNTU-CVE-2022-46146.json"}},{"package":{"name":"golang-github-prometheus-exporter-toolkit","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/golang-github-prometheus-exporter-toolkit?arch=source&distro=jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.5.1-2","0.7.0-1","0.7.0-2","0.7.1-1","0.7.1-1ubuntu1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"0.7.1-1ubuntu1","binary_name":"golang-github-prometheus-exporter-toolkit-dev"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2022/UBUNTU-CVE-2022-46146.json"}},{"package":{"name":"prometheus","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/prometheus?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fjammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.24.1+ds-1ubuntu1","2.24.1+ds-1ubuntu2","2.31.1+ds2-2","2.31.2+ds1-1","2.31.2+ds1-1ubuntu1","2.31.2+ds1-1ubuntu1.22.04.1","2.31.2+ds1-1ubuntu1.22.04.2","2.31.2+ds1-1ubuntu1.22.04.3","2.31.2+ds1-1ubuntu1.22.04.3+esm1","2.31.2+ds1-1ubuntu1.22.04.3+esm2","2.31.2+ds1-1ubuntu1.22.04.3+esm3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"prometheus","binary_version":"2.31.2+ds1-1ubuntu1.22.04.3+esm3"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2022/UBUNTU-CVE-2022-46146.json"}},{"package":{"name":"prometheus","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/prometheus?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fnoble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.45.0+ds-3build1","2.45.1+ds-1","2.45.1+ds-2","2.45.1+ds-3","2.45.3+ds-2","2.45.3+ds-2build1","2.45.3+ds-2ubuntu0.1","2.45.3+ds-2ubuntu0.2","2.45.3+ds-2ubuntu0.2+esm1","2.45.3+ds-2ubuntu0.2+esm2","2.45.3+ds-2ubuntu0.3","2.45.3+ds-2ubuntu0.3+esm1","2.45.3+ds-2ubuntu0.3+esm2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"prometheus","binary_version":"2.45.3+ds-2ubuntu0.3+esm2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2022/UBUNTU-CVE-2022-46146.json"}},{"package":{"name":"prometheus","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:25.10","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/prometheus?arch=source&distro=questing"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.53.3+ds1-1","2.53.3+ds1-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"2.53.3+ds1-2","binary_name":"golang-github-prometheus-prometheus-dev"},{"binary_name":"prometheus","binary_version":"2.53.3+ds1-2"},{"binary_name":"promtool","binary_version":"2.53.3+ds1-2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://githu
