CVE-2020-8578

Node-name disclosure via incomplete AutoSupport sanitization

Published Feb 8, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Information disclosure in NetApp Clustered Data ONTAP before 9.3P20 allows local users to discover node names in AutoSupport bundles. The AutoSupport private-data filter fails to remove or mask node-name fields when remove-private-data is true. A low-privileged local user with access to a generated bundle can learn cluster node identifiers, with no reported data modification or service interruption.
