Descriptions

Users with Site-level permissions can access files containing the username-encrypted passwords of Security Console Global Administrators and clear-text passwords for restoring backups, as well as the salt for those passwords. Valid credentials are required to access these files and malicious users would still need to perform additional work to decrypt the credentials and escalate privileges. This issue affects: Rapid7 InsightVM versions 6.5.11 through 6.5.49.

Los usuarios con permisos Site-level pueden acceder a los archivos que contienen las contraseñas cifradas con el nombre de usuario de los Administradores Globales de la Consola de Seguridad y las contraseñas de texto sin cifrar para restaurar las copias de seguridad, así como la sal para esas contraseñas. Se requieren credenciales válidas para acceder a estos archivos y los usuarios maliciosos aún tendrían que realizar un trabajo adicional para descifrar las credenciales y escalar los privilegios. Este problema afecta a: Rapid7 InsightVM versiones 6.5.11 hasta 6.5.49.
