Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A credential leak in OpenC3 COSMOS before v6.0.2 allows attackers to access service credentials as environment variables stored in all containers.
Executive ViewAI
OpenC3 COSMOS installations before v6.0.2 expose service credentials stored in container environment variables to attackers. Any organization running affected versions faces immediate risk of unauthorized access to backend services and data systems. Public exploit code availability significantly increases exploitation likelihood.
Network segmentation: restrict COSMOS container egress to only required backend services. Container runtime hardening: disable container introspection and restrict environment variable access via seccomp/AppArmor profiles. Credential rotation: immediately rotate all service accounts referenced in COSMOS environment variables and implement monitoring for unusual authentication patterns. WAF/proxy rules: if COSMOS communicates via HTTP, implement WAF rules to detect credential exfiltration patterns. Disable non-essential features: temporarily restrict COSMOS access scope until patch deployment. Note: These mitigations reduce but do not eliminate risk; vendor patch is mandatory.
