| CVE-2012-6639 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.02 | Nov 25, 2019 | An privilege elevation vulnerability exists in Cloud-init before 0.7.0 when requests to an untrusted system are submitted for EC2 instance data. | ||
| CVE-2018-10896 | Hig | 0.46 | 7.1 | 0.00 | Aug 1, 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,… | ||
| CVE-2024-11584 | Med | 0.00 | 5.9 | 0.00 | Jun 26, 2025 | cloud-init through 25.1.2 includes the systemd socket unit cloud-init-hotplugd.socket with default SocketMode that grants 0666 permissions, making it world-writable. This is used for the "/run/cloud-init/hook-hotplug-cmd" FIFO. An unprivileged user could… | ||
| CVE-2023-1786 | Med | 0.00 | 5.5 | 0.00 | Apr 26, 2023 | Sensitive data could be exposed in logs of cloud-init before version 23.1.2. An attacker could use this information to find hashed passwords and possibly escalate their privilege. | ||
| CVE-2022-2084 | Med | 0.00 | 5.5 | 0.00 | Apr 19, 2023 | Sensitive data could be exposed in world readable logs of cloud-init before version 22.3 when schema failures are reported. This leak could include hashed passwords. | ||
| CVE-2020-8632 | Med | 0.00 | 5.5 | 0.00 | Feb 5, 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. | ||
| CVE-2020-8631 | Med | 0.00 | 5.5 | 0.00 | Feb 5, 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. |
