CVE-2020-5422
BOSH System Metrics Server releases prior to 0.1.0 exposed the UAA password as a flag to a process running on the BOSH director.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.92%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
BOSH System Metrics Server releases prior to 0.1.0 exposed the UAA password as a flag to a process running on the BOSH director. It exposed the password to any user or process with access to the same VM (through ps or looking at process details).
