Vulnerability Data

A flaw was found in foreman-mcp-server. This component utilizes two distinct logging mechanisms that can expose sensitive session and authentication data. One mechanism logs session identifiers, which are treated as authentication credentials, at an informational level. The other, when debug…

more

logging is enabled, incompletely sanitizes HTTP request headers, leading to the cleartext logging of sensitive information such as authorization tokens and API keys. This vulnerability can result in a confidentiality breach, as sensitive authentication data is persisted in plain text within container logs, increasing the risk if logs are forwarded to a centralized platform.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly specifies audit record content so that sensitive session IDs, authorization tokens, and API keys are excluded from logs.

prevent

Requires error and debug handling routines to avoid writing unsanitized sensitive header or credential data into logs.

prevent

Enforces secure logging configuration settings that disable verbose/debug levels or enforce header sanitization to prevent exposure of authentication material.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly prohibit writing sensitive data to logs; eliminating the weakness satisfies only one narrow slice of the control.

PR.PS-04 partial match
prevents

Log generation configuration can and should exclude sensitive data, but the control statement focuses on availability rather than content filtering.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

A.8.15 Logging mostly match
prevents

Requiring de-identification and privacy controls before logs leave the organization reduces the chance that sensitive data inadvertently captured in logs becomes exposed to external parties.

mitigates

By defining what records must be kept, where, and for how long, the control discourages the inadvertent inclusion of sensitive information in logs or other externally accessible files that fall outside the formal record system.

mitigates

Mandating deletion of temporary files and logs that may contain sensitive information prevents those artifacts from remaining accessible after the data is no longer needed.

A.8.11 Data masking partial match
mitigates

When log entries are produced from masked data sets, the control prevents the inadvertent insertion of sensitive values into externally accessible log files.

mitigates

DLP inspection of logs and file transfers can detect and block the inadvertent placement of sensitive tokens or credentials into externally accessible log files before they are written or transmitted.

prevents

Requiring restrictions on free-text fields and proper error-message handling stops developers from embedding or leaking sensitive data into logs or diagnostic output.
