Description

A flaw was found in insights-core where the password redaction layer fails to recognize credentials not keyed under the literal string 'password'. This allows SSSD LDAP bind passwords (ldap_default_authtok) and Pacemaker fence device credentials to be included in cleartext in archives uploaded to console.redhat.com.

Statement

This Moderate flaw in insights-core allows SSSD LDAP bind passwords and Pacemaker CIB fence device credentials to be included in cleartext within archives uploaded by insights-client. The default insights-client configuration is affected, leading to potential exposure of sensitive credentials to individuals with access to these uploaded archives.

CVSS score applicability

The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.

Mitigation

Exclude sssd_config, sssd_conf_d, and cib_xml via /etc/insights-client/file-redaction.yaml, or add keyword/pattern redaction covering ldap_default_authtok and fence passwd/password XML forms, until a patched insights-core is available.
