Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains one low risk vulnerability.
1) Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Log Files
EUVDB-ID: #VU52984
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 4.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3447
CWE-ID:
CWE-532 - Information Exposure Through Log Files
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to software stores sensitive information into log files. A flaw was found in several ansible modules, where parameters containing credentials, such as secrets, were being logged in plain-text on managed nodes, as well as being made visible on the controller node when run in verbose mode. These parameters were not protected by the no_log feature. A local user can read the log files and gain access to sensitive data.
MitigationInstall updates from vendor's website.
