CVE-2024-55582
📋 TL;DR
CVE-2024-55582 is a vulnerability in Oxide versions before 6 where Control Plane datastores are stored unencrypted. This allows attackers with access to the storage system to read sensitive configuration and operational data. All Oxide deployments using versions before 6 are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- Oxide Control Plane
⚠️ Manual Verification Required
This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.
Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

- Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
- Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
- Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete compromise of sensitive operational data including credentials, configuration secrets, and system state information leading to full system compromise.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to sensitive configuration data that could enable further attacks or expose operational secrets.
If Mitigated
Limited exposure of non-critical configuration data if proper access controls and network segmentation are in place.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires access to the underlying storage system. No authentication bypass is needed once storage access is obtained.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: 6.0 and later
Vendor Advisory: https://docs.oxide.computer/security/advisories/20240118-1
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Backup current configuration and data. 2. Upgrade Oxide to version 6.0 or later. 3. Verify datastore encryption is enabled. 4. Restart Oxide services.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Enable storage-level encryption
allConfigure encryption at the storage layer (filesystem or block storage) to protect datastores.
# For ZFS: zfs set encryption=on oxide/datastore
# For LUKS: cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sdX
# For cloud storage: Enable encryption at rest
Restrict storage access
linuxImplement strict access controls on the storage system containing Oxide datastores.
# Set restrictive permissions: chmod 600 /path/to/datastores
# Use filesystem ACLs: setfacl -m u:oxide:rwx /path/to/datastores
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict network segmentation to isolate Oxide storage systems
- Enable full-disk encryption on all storage devices containing Oxide datastores
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check Oxide version with 'oxide version' command and verify if below 6.0. Check datastore encryption status in configuration.Check Version:
oxide versionVerify Fix Applied:
Verify version is 6.0 or higher with 'oxide version'. Check that datastore encryption is enabled in configuration.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unauthorized access attempts to storage systems
- Configuration changes to datastore settings
Network Indicators:
- Unusual access patterns to storage systems from unauthorized sources
