What is CVE-2020-15115?

etcd before versions 3.3.23 and 3.4.10 does not perform any password length validation, which allows for very short passwords, such as those with a length of one. This may allow an attacker to guess or brute-force users' passwords with little computational effort.

Affected Version(s)

etcd < 3.3.23 < 3.3.23

etcd < 3.4.10 < 3.4.10
