Official description

kanidim-provision is a helper utility that uses kanidm's API to provision users, groups and oauth2 systems. Prior to version 1.2.0, a faulty function intrumentation in the (optional) kanidm patches provided by kandim-provision will cause the provisioned admin credentials to be leaked to the system log. This only impacts users which both use the provided patches and provision their `admin` or `idm_admin` account credentials this way. No other credentials are affected. Users should recompile kanidm with the newest patchset from tag `v1.2.0` or higher. As a workaround, the user can set the log level `KANIDM_LOG_LEVEL` to any level higher than `info`, for example `warn`.

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.
