Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the backup configuration process where the SAS token is not masked in the configuration response. This oversight results in sensitive information leakage within the yb_backup log files, exposing the SAS token in plaintext. The leakage occurs during the backup procedure, leading to potential unauthorized access to resources associated with the SAS token. This issue affects YugabyteDB Anywhere: from 2.20.0.0 before 2.20.7.0, from 2.23.0.0 before 2.23.1.0, from 2024.1.0.0 before 2024.1.3.0.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis
How this class of weakness works · CWE-532

Sensitive values — secrets, tokens, session identifiers, personal data — are written into log files, so anyone with access to the logs, which is often a broad group, obtains them. It turns a routine diagnostic into a credential leak. The fix is redacting sensitive data before it is logged and tightly restricting who can read the logs.

Recommended fix High confidence

2.20.7.0 or later, 2.23.1.0 or later, or 2024.1.3.0 or later depending on your current branch

  1. Identify the currently installed YugabyteDB Anywhere version using the platform UI or CLI
  2. For versions 2.20.0.0-2.20.6.x: Upgrade to version 2.20.7.0 or later
  3. For versions 2.23.0.0-2.23.0.x: Upgrade to version 2.23.1.0 or later
  4. For versions 2024.1.0.0-2024.1.2.x: Upgrade to version 2024.1.3.0 or later
  5. After upgrading, verify the fix by checking that SAS tokens are now properly masked in backup configuration responses and log files
  6. Review logs (yb_backup) to confirm sensitive data is no longer exposed in plaintext
Caveat Review the release notes for your target version to check for any breaking changes or migration requirements specific to your deployment
