More informations
Base: Exploitabilty Metrics
The Exploitability metrics reflect the characteristics of the thing that is vulnerable, which we refer to formally as the vulnerable component.
Attack Vector
This metric reflects the context by which vulnerability exploitation is possible.
Network
The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity
This metric describes the conditions beyond the attacker’s control that must exist in order to exploit the vulnerability.
High
successful attack depends on conditions beyond the attacker's control. That is, a successful attack cannot be accomplished at will, but requires the attacker to invest in some measurable amount of effort in preparation or execution against the vulnerable component before a successful attack can be expected.
Privileges Required
This metric describes the level of privileges an attacker must possess before successfully exploiting the vulnerability.
None
The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction
This metric captures the requirement for a human user, other than the attacker, to participate in the successful compromise of the vulnerable component.
None
The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any user.
Base: Scope Metrics
The Scope metric captures whether a vulnerability in one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Scope
Formally, a security authority is a mechanism (e.g., an application, an operating system, firmware, a sandbox environment) that defines and enforces access control in terms of how certain subjects/actors (e.g., human users, processes) can access certain restricted objects/resources (e.g., files, CPU, memory) in a controlled manner. All the subjects and objects under the jurisdiction of a single security authority are considered to be under one security scope. If a vulnerability in a vulnerable component can affect a component which is in a different security scope than the vulnerable component, a Scope change occurs. Intuitively, whenever the impact of a vulnerability breaches a security/trust boundary and impacts components outside the security scope in which vulnerable component resides, a Scope change occurs.
Unchanged
An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Base: Impact Metrics
The Impact metrics capture the effects of a successfully exploited vulnerability on the component that suffers the worst outcome that is most directly and predictably associated with the attack. Analysts should constrain impacts to a reasonable, final outcome which they are confident an attacker is able to achieve.
Confidentiality Impact
This metric measures the impact to the confidentiality of the information resources managed by a software component due to a successfully exploited vulnerability.
High
There is a total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact. For example, an attacker steals the administrator's password, or private encryption keys of a web server.
Integrity Impact
This metric measures the impact to integrity of a successfully exploited vulnerability. Integrity refers to the trustworthiness and veracity of information.
None
There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability Impact
This metric measures the impact to the availability of the impacted component resulting from a successfully exploited vulnerability.
None
There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.
Temporal Metrics
The Temporal metrics measure the current state of exploit techniques or code availability, the existence of any patches or workarounds, or the confidence in the description of a vulnerability.
Environmental Metrics
These metrics enable the analyst to customize the CVSS score depending on the importance of the affected IT asset to a user’s organization, measured in terms of Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability.

CVSSv3 Score: 7.5 (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)
CVE: CVE-2017-14955
2. CREDITS
==========
This vulnerability was discovered and researched by Julien Ahrens from
RCE Security.
3. VERSIONS AFFECTED
====================
Check_mk v1.2.8p25
Check_mk v1.2.8p25 Enterprise
older versions may be affected too.
4. INTRODUCTION
===============
Check_MK is comprehensive IT monitoring solution in the tradition of Nagios.
Check_MK is available as Raw Edition, which is 100% pure open source, and as
Enterprise Edition with a lot of additional features and professional support.
(from the vendor's homepage)
5. VULNERABILITY DETAILS
========================
Check_mk is vulnerable to an unauthenticated information disclosure through a
race condition during the authentication process when trying to authenticate
with a valid username and an invalid password.
On a failed login, the application calls the function save_users(), which
performs two os.rename operations on the files "contacts.mk.new" and
"users.mk.new" (see /packages/check_mk/check_mk-1.2.8p25/web/htdocs/userdb.py):
[..]
# Check_MK's monitoring contacts
filename = root_dir + "contacts.mk.new"
out = create_user_file(filename, "w")
out.write("# Written by Multisite UserDB\n# encoding: utf-8\n\n")
out.write("contacts.update(\n%s\n)\n" % pprint.pformat(contacts))
out.close()
os.rename(filename, filename[:-4])
# Users with passwords for Multisite
filename = multisite_dir + "users.mk.new"
make_nagios_directory(multisite_dir)
out = create_user_file(filename, "w")
out.write("# Written by Multisite UserDB\n# encoding: utf-8\n\n")
out.write("multisite_users = \\\n%s\n" % pprint.pformat(users))
out.close()
os.rename(filename, filename[:-4])
[...]
When sending many concurrent authentication requests with an existing/valid
username, such as:
POST /check_mk/login.py HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate

---9519178121294961341040589727--
Then it could happen that one of both os.rename() calls references a non-
existing file, which has just been renamed by a previous thread. This causes the
Python script to fail and throw a crash report, which discloses a variety of
sensitive information, such as internal server paths, account details including
hashed passwords:
</pre></td></tr><tr class="data odd0"><td class="left">Local Variables</td><td><pre>{'contacts': {u'admin': {'alias': u'Administrator',
'contactgroups': ['all'],
'disable_notifications': False,
'email': u'admin@example.com',
