Foundry Build2: Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File

CVE-2022-27895 is a high-severity insertion of sensitive information into log file vulnerability in Foundry Build2 from Palantir, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 1.785.0 as the first without the flaw, so updating Foundry Build2 to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.44% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

What to do

  1. Update Foundry Build2 to 1.785.0 or a later version.
  2. Read the advisory on github.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
  3. Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

The underlying weakness: Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File

The product writes sensitive information to a log file.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Consider seriously the sensitivity of the information written into log files. Do not write secrets into the log files.
  • Remove debug log files before deploying the application into production.
  • Protect log files against unauthorized read/write.
