Vulnerability Data

Spinnaker is an open source, multi-cloud continuous delivery platform. Log output when updating GitHub status is improperly set to FULL always. It's recommended to apply the patch and rotate the GitHub token used for github status notifications. Given that this…

would output github tokens to a log system, the risk is slightly higher than a "low" since token exposure could grant elevated access to repositories outside of control. If using READ restricted tokens, the exposure is such that the token itself could be used to access resources otherwise restricted from reads. This only affects users of GitHub Status Notifications. This issue has been addressed in pull request 1316. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should disable GH Status Notifications, Filter their logs for Echo log data and use read-only tokens that are limited in scope.

Mitigating Controls

Likely Mitigating Controls AI

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.

addresses: CWE-532

Procedures mandate excluding sensitive data from logs to prevent unauthorized exposure via audit records.

addresses: CWE-532

Identifies insertion of sensitive data into logs, allowing detection of unauthorized disclosure.

addresses: CWE-532

Cross-organizational coordination enables agreement on what data to include in audit logs, directly reducing insertion of sensitive information.

addresses: CWE-532

Identifying logging as a data action allows prevention of sensitive information being inserted into log files.

addresses: CWE-532

The process of identifying and eradicating spilled information applies directly to sensitive data inserted into log files.

addresses: CWE-532

Specific processing rules for sensitive PII categories commonly include restrictions on logging, making insertion of such data into log files less likely.

addresses: CWE-532

PIAs detect planned or existing logging of PII and require removal or protection, preventing insertion of sensitive information into logs.

addresses: CWE-532

Limits insertion of sensitive operational details into logs by treating such data as key information requiring protection.
