Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere

CVE-2024-11029

Medium
5.5/10

Summary

A flaw was found in the FreeIPA API audit, where it sends the whole FreeIPA command line to `journalctl`. As a consequence, during the FreeIPA installation process, it inadvertently leaks the administrative user credentials, including the administrator password, to the journal database. In the worst-case scenario, where the journal log is centralized, users with access to it can have improper access to the FreeIPA administrator credentials. This issue has been fixed in version 4.12.3.
