CVE-2021-32571Network attack vector

Credential disclosure via undeleted migration files

Published Oct 14, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Incomplete cleanup in Ericsson OSS-RC 18B and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read stored credentials after data migration. The migration procedure leaves files containing usernames and passwords undeleted in restricted folders instead of removing them when migration ends. Access requires a top-privileged account, and disclosure is limited to credentials retained by the migration workflow.
