CVE-2024-21990Network attack vector

Configuration disclosure via hard-coded account credentials

Published Apr 17, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Hard-coded credentials in NetApp ONTAP Select Deploy 9.12.1 through 9.14.1P2 allow remote authenticated users to read configuration data. NetApp has not disclosed the embedded account, credential value, or authentication path that accepts it. Low-privileged network access is required, and successful use permits configuration disclosure and account-credential changes without interrupting service.
