{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-92747","details":"A flaw was found in `cockpit-machines`. This vulnerability allows a local attacker with the ability to inspect running processes to expose sensitive guest virtual machine (VM) credentials, such as `rootPassword` and `userPassword`. This occurs when the `install_machine.py` script passes these credentials as a JSON command-line argument during VM creation or installation. The exposure is limited to the period when the installation workflow is active and depends on host process-visibility policies.","modified":"2026-09-21T21:40:55.992030095Z","published":"2026-09-21T00:00:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-92747"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-92747"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-92747"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2469260"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-92747"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"cockpit-machines","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/cockpit-machines?arch=source&distro=jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["251-1","254-1","255-1","256-1","258-1","259-1","260-1","261-1","262-1","263-1","264-1","265-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"265-1","binary_name":"cockpit-machines"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-92747.json"}},{"package":{"name":"cockpit-machines","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/cockpit-machines?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["299-1","300-1","301-1","302-1","303-1","304-1","305-1","306-1","307-1","310-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"cockpit-machines","binary_version":"310-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-92747.json"}},{"package":{"name":"cockpit-machines","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/cockpit-machines?arch=source&distro=resolute"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["339-1","341-1","343-1","345-1","346-1","347-1","348-1","351-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"cockpit-machines","binary_version":"351-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-92747.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
