Summary

The NetApp ONTAP special agent in Checkmk exposes the NetApp login password in the process list while it runs, so a local user on the Checkmk server with low privileges can read it. The flaw is reached locally, not over the network, and it affects both passwords set directly in the configuration and passwords taken from the password store.

Read the original description

Invocation of the NetApp ONTAP special agent with the login password in the command line in Checkmk version 2.5.0 before 2.5.0p16 allows a local user on the Checkmk server to read the NetApp login password from the process list while the special agent is running. This affects both explicitly configured passwords and passwords from the password store.
