CVE-2020-15115

Published: 6 August 2020

etcd before versions 3.3.23 and 3.4.10 does not perform any password length validation, which allows for very short passwords, such as those with a length of one. This may allow an attacker to guess or brute-force users' passwords with little computational effort.

Notes

AuthorNote
ebarretto
No fix available:
The etcdctl and etcd API do not enforce a specific password
length during user creation or user password update operations.
It is the responsibility of the administrator to enforce these
requirements.
