VRRP defaults to an insecure configuration in Linux's keepalived component which sends the cluster password in plaintext through multicast. A malicious user, having access to the vCloud subnet where ViPR is deployed, could potentially sniff the password and use it to take over the cluster's virtual IP and cause a denial of service on that ViPR Controller system.","published":"2018-04-18T16:29:00.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T01:50:48.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"security_alert@emc.com","cvss":{"version":"3.0","score":8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-200"],"affected":["emc/vipr controller"],"epss":{"score":0.00529,"percentile":0.4456,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.53%).
