Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2022-38599 is a medium-severity information leak in named Teleport builds. A logged-in user could access role-list information through the web interface. The main business risk is unauthorized disclosure of security role data, which may help an attacker map privileges or plan later attacks.
Executive priority
Treat as a moderate confidentiality issue. Prioritize if Teleport is internet-facing, broadly accessible internally, or used to manage sensitive access roles.
Technical view
The CVE describes an information leak via the /user/get-role-list web interface in Teleport v3.2.2, v3.5.6-rc6, and v3.6.3-b2. CVSS 3.1 is 6.5: network reachable, low complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, high confidentiality impact, no integrity or availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure appears limited to deployments running the specifically named Teleport versions where authenticated users can reach the web interface. The source bundle does not identify vendor CPEs or broader affected version ranges.
Exploitation context
The bundle does not indicate active exploitation, and KEV status is false. The issue requires low privileges, so risk is higher where many users have web access or where accounts may be compromised.
Researcher notes
Evidence is sparse: the record names versions, endpoint, CWE-668, and CVSS vector, but does not provide CPEs, vendor advisory detail, exploit status, or patch information. Avoid expanding affected scope beyond the named builds.
Mitigation direction
- Check current vendor guidance for fixed versions or official mitigations.
- Inventory deployments for Teleport v3.2.2, v3.5.6-rc6, and v3.6.3-b2.
- Upgrade or retire affected builds if vendor guidance confirms a fixed release.
- Restrict web interface access to trusted networks and authenticated users only.
- Review role and permission exposure for unnecessary disclosure.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether any production or test systems run the named versions.
- Review web access logs for role-list access by unexpected users.
- Validate that low-privileged users cannot view role lists unnecessarily.
- Confirm remediation against vendor documentation, since no fix is named in the bundle.
