CVE-2026-92747

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions cockpit-machines (affected versions not specified)

Description A flaw in the install machine.py script allows a local attacker with the ability to inspect running processes to expose sensitive guest virtual machine (VM) credentials, such as rootPassword and userPassword. This occurs because these credentials are passed as a JSON command-line argument during VM creation or installation. The exposure is limited to the period when the installation workflow is active and depends on host process-visibility policies.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
