CVE-2026-103674: NetApp ONTAP special agent exposes password in process list

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 8/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.09% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Checkmk GmbH Checkmk 2.5.0p16.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Checkmk GmbH Checkmk 2.5.0p16 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

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.
