Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2017-2665 exposes the MongoDB password used by the skyring database because skyring-setup writes it in plaintext to a local configuration file readable by local users. Business risk is mainly insider or post-compromise credential exposure on systems running the skyring service. Exposure appears limited to hosts running skyring/rhscon-core where local users can access /etc/skyring/skyring.conf. The bundle does not identify affected versions, distributions, or package ranges beyond rhscon-core. Treat this as a moderate-priority credential exposure issue. Prioritize shared management hosts, systems with many local users, and environments where skyring has privileged operational access. Mitigation focus: Check Red Hat Bugzilla and vendor guidance for fixed rhscon-core packages.; Restrict local user access on systems running the skyring service.; Review /etc/skyring/skyring.conf permissions against vendor-supported settings..

CWE-522: Credential and account abuse lookup
Authentication and credential weaknesses can make valid-account abuse and credential telemetry useful review starting points. Open the exact CWE lookup page first, then review the ATT&CK searches from that MITRE weakness context. This is a Glexia lookup hint, not an official ATT&CK mapping.
Open ATT&CK lookupCredential and access behavior lookup
The CVE wording references authentication or credential exposure, so valid-account and credential-access review may help. This is a Glexia inferred lookup path, not an official MITRE, ATT&CK, or CVE Program mapping.
Open ATT&CK lookupDatabase behavior lookup
The CVE wording references database injection or access, so collection and exfiltration review may help. This is a Glexia inferred lookup path, not an official MITRE, ATT&CK, or CVE Program mapping.

Insufficiently Protected Credentials
Insufficiently Protected Credentials represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
