CVE-2024-6360

API-key exposure via incorrect resource permissions

Published Oct 2, 2024 · Updated Oct 2, 2024

Incorrect permissions in OpenText Vertica allow local users with high privileges to access or gain privileges to the agent API key. The affected releases span 10.0 through 10.x, 11.0 through 11.x, 12.0 through 12.x, 23.0 through 23.x, and 24.0 through 24.x; OpenText has not disclosed which agent resource receives the incorrect permissions or how they are assigned.
