The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has cloud-init packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  • The default cloud-init configuration, in cloud-init 0.6.2 and newer, included ssh_deletekeys: 0, disabling cloud-init’s deletion of ssh host keys. In some environments, this could lead to instances created by cloning a golden master or template system, sharing ssh host keys, and being able to impersonate one another or conduct man-in-the-middle attacks. (CVE-2018-10896)

  • In cloud-init through 19.4, rand_user_password in cloudinit/config/cc_set_passwords.py has a small default pwlen value, which makes it easier for attackers to guess passwords. (CVE-2020-8632)

  • cloud-init through 19.4 relies on Mersenne Twister for a random password, which makes it easier for attackers to predict passwords, because rand_str in cloudinit/util.py calls the random.choice function.
    (CVE-2020-8631)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
