A static credential embedded in Chef 360 prior to v1.7.0 permitted unauthenticated access to internal message queues.

LOW 2.3EPSS 0.27%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.27%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

A static credential embedded in Chef 360 prior to v1.7.0 permitted unauthenticated access to internal message queues.  Queue messages contained tenant-specific identifiers.  The credential has been rotated and replaced with per-tenant access in subsequent versions, eliminating this access method entirely.
