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.
