1) Weak password requirements
EUVDB-ID: #VU75912
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 6.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3287
CWE-ID:
CWE-521 - Weak Password Requirements
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges within the application.
The vulnerability exists due to the way the redfish plugin handles passwords. When creating an OPERATOR user account on the BMC, the redfish plugin
saved the auto-generated password to /etc/fwupd/redfish.conf without
proper restriction. A local user can read the configuration file and gain operator privileges.
Install updates from vendor's website.
