AI Analysis

Impact

This vulnerability allows a highly privileged local user to read generated TLS private keys that are inadvertently included in rendered Helm manifests for Artifactory. By obtaining these keys, the user can decrypt traffic, impersonate Artifactory services, or compromise the confidentiality and integrity of secure communications.

Affected Systems

The affected product is JFrog Artifactory, deployed via self‑managed Helm charts. No specific affected versions were given, so any Artifactory installation using the vulnerable Helm configuration may be impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.7 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. The attack surface appears to be local privileged users; an attacker would need access to the host as a user with read permission to the rendered manifest files.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Artifactory to a version that removes TLS private keys from rendered manifests.
  • Configure Helm charts to disable automatic generation or inclusion of private keys in the rendered output.
  • Restrict filesystem permissions on the directory holding the rendered manifests so that only the Artifactory service and administrators have read access.
