Description
A flaw was found in insights-client. When the application receives a non-200 response, it logs the request headers, which can include the cloud.openshift.com pull-secret token. A local user with access to pod logs on the hub could read this long-lived credential. This information disclosure could grant unauthorized access to Red Hat cloud services.

AI Analysis

Impact

An issue in the insights‑client component causes request headers to be logged when a non‑200 response is received, and the headers may contain a cloud.openshift.com pull‑secret bearer token. This results in sensitive long‑lived credentials being recorded in pod logs, potentially exposing them to local users with access to those logs. The weakness is a Classic Information Exposure flaw (CWE‑532).

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2, as distributed through the insights‑client package. No specific sub‑versions are listed, so any deployment of ACM 2 that utilizes this component may be impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.3 indicates a moderate confidentiality impact. Although the EPSS score is under 1%, implying a low probability of mass exploitation, the flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector is local: an attacker already able to read pod logs would be able to recover the pulled‑secret and potentially gain unauthorized access to Red Hat cloud services. Without a public exploit, the risk remains largely constrained to environments where local user privileges are privileged or insecure.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Restrict pod log access by tightening RBAC so that only trusted administrators can read logs
  • Patch or upgrade Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes to a version that fixes insights‑client logging behavior (monitor Red Hat advisories for an update)
  • If an update is not yet available, configure or modify the insights‑client or container runtime to suppress logging of request headers containing credentials
