CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The insights-client contains a vulnerability in the setDefault() function that logs environment variables, including the sensitive CCX_TOKEN, in clear text when the glog verbosity is set to level 2 or higher. This exposure allows an attacker with access to pod logs or centralized logging systems to capture the token, potentially leading to unauthorized access to the CCX API. Organizations utilizing insights-client, especially in environments where logging is centralized, should prioritize addressing this issue to mitigate the risk of credential theft.

Original NVD Description

A flaw was found in insights-client. The setDefault() function logs the value of every environment variable it processes, including CCX_TOKEN, a bearer credential used in disconnected cluster deployments. When glog verbosity is set to level 2 or higher, the token is written in clear text to the pod log on every startup. An attacker with access to pod logs or centralized logging could obtain the credential, leading to unauthorized access to the CCX API.
