NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ipa-python-compat package and not the ipa-python-compat package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in IPA, all 4.6.x versions before 4.6.7, all 4.7.x versions before 4.7.4 and all 4.8.x versions before 4.8.3, in the way that FreeIPA's batch processing API logged operations. This included passing user passwords in clear text on FreeIPA masters. Batch processing of commands with passwords as arguments or options is not performed by default in FreeIPA but is possible by third-party components. An attacker having access to system logs on FreeIPA masters could use this flaw to produce log file content with passwords exposed.
