Summary

Checkmk versions from 2.5.0 before 2.5.0p16 pass the login password of the NetApp ONTAP special agent on its command line. A local user on the Checkmk server can read the NetApp login password from the process list while the special agent runs (CWE-214). This applies to both explicitly configured passwords and passwords taken from the password store.

Description from the CNA

Invocation of the NetApp ONTAP special agent with the login password in the command line in Checkmk version 2.5.0 before 2.5.0p16 allows a local user on the Checkmk server to read the NetApp login password from the process list while the special agent is running. This affects both explicitly configured passwords and passwords from the password store.
