Recent Canonical Cloud Init Security Vulnerabilities
cloud-init through 19.4 relies on Mersenne Twister for a random password, which makes it easier for attackers to predict passwords
CVE-2020-8631
5.5 - Medium
- February 05, 2020
cloud-init through 19.4 relies on Mersenne Twister for a random password, which makes it easier for attackers to predict passwords, because rand_str in cloudinit/util.py calls the random.choice function.
Use of Insufficiently Random Values
In cloud-init through 19.4, rand_user_password in cloudinit/config/cc_set_passwords.py has a small default pwlen value
CVE-2020-8632
5.5 - Medium
- February 05, 2020
In cloud-init through 19.4, rand_user_password in cloudinit/config/cc_set_passwords.py has a small default pwlen value, which makes it easier for attackers to guess passwords.
Weak Password Requirements
The default cloud-init configuration
CVE-2018-10896
7.1 - High
- August 01, 2018
The default cloud-init configuration, in cloud-init 0.6.2 and newer, included "ssh_deletekeys: 0", disabling cloud-init's deletion of ssh host keys. In some environments, this could lead to instances created by cloning a golden master or template system, sharing ssh host keys, and being able to impersonate one another or conduct man-in-the-middle attacks.
Use of Hard-coded Cryptographic Key
