CWE-532  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade github.com/openbao/openbao/audit to version 2.4.2 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File via improper redaction of []byte fields in audit logs when relevant subsystems send response parameters as byte slices instead of strings. An attacker can access sensitive information, such as unredacted data or public keys, by reviewing audit logs.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by prohibiting the use of sys/raw globally by ensuring raw_storage_endpoint=false is set or missing from the server configuration.
