CVE-2026-71845
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
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.

"value": "Se encontró una vulnerabilidad en insights-client. La función setDefault() registra el valor de cada variable de entorno que procesa, incluyendo CCX_TOKEN, una credencial bearer utilizada en despliegues de clústeres desconectados. Cuando la verbosidad de glog se establece en el nivel 2 o superior, el token se escribe en texto claro en el registro del pod en cada inicio. Un atacante con acceso a los registros del pod o al registro centralizado podría obtener la credencial, lo que llevaría a un acceso no autorizado a la API de CCX."
