CVE-2023-1160

Local information disclosure through bundled components

Published Mar 3, 2023 · Updated Mar 7, 2025

Use of platform-dependent components in Cockpit CMS before 2.4.0 allows local users to disclose limited sensitive information. The CNA and upstream patch identify only a bundled third-party-library update and do not disclose the affected call, input, or platform-dependent operation. Exploitation is local, requires no user interaction, and is bounded to confidentiality impact; published assessments disagree on whether low privileges are required.
