GHSA-8WH7-8XQ3-25WG

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-16 09:30 – Updated: 2026-09-16 09:30
VLAI
Details

On affected platforms running Arista EOS with OpenConfig-related services (i.e., gNMI, gNSI, RESTCONF and NETCONF), sensitive requests and responses may be unintentionally logged. These may be stored on the local EOS device or recorded on remote accounting servers. Note that gRPC-based streaming via Streaming Telemetry Agent to CloudVision is not affected by this vulnerability.

Examples of sensitive information include: - Sensitive CLI commands (e.g., "username bob secret myPass") - Sensitive OpenConfig YANG leafs (e.g., "system/aaa/global/tacacs/config/secret-key")

This issue was discovered internally by Arista, and the company is not aware of any malicious exploitation of this vulnerability in customer networks.

Summary
Jenkins QMetry Test Management Plugin vulnerability exposes API keys
Details

QMetry Test Management Plugin 1.13 and earlier stores Qmetry Automation API Keys unencrypted in job config.xml files on the Jenkins controller as part of its configuration.

These API keys can be viewed by users with Item/Extended Read permission or access to the Jenkins controller file system.

Additionally, the job configuration form does not mask these API keys, increasing the potential for attackers to observe and capture them.

As of publication of this advisory, there is no fix.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Avoid storing passwords in easily accessible locations.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Consider storing cryptographic hashes of passwords as an alternative to storing in plaintext.

Mitigation

A programmer might attempt to remedy the password management problem by obscuring the password with an encoding function, such as base 64 encoding, but this effort does not adequately protect the password because the encoding can be detected and decoded easily.

No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
