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 Yugabyte Anywhere, where the LDAP bind password is logged in plaintext within application logs. This flaw results in the unintentional exposure of sensitive information in Yugabyte Anywhere logs, potentially allowing unauthorized users with access to these logs to view the LDAP bind password. An attacker with log access could exploit this vulnerability to gain unauthorized access to the LDAP server, leading to potential exposure or compromise of LDAP-managed resources 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.

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

Upgrade to 2.20.7.0+, 2.23.1.0+, or 2024.1.3+ depending on your current major version branch

  1. Identify the currently installed YugabyteDB Anywhere version using the platform UI or CLI
  2. For version 2.20.x: Upgrade to version 2.20.7.0 or later
  3. For version 2.23.x: Upgrade to version 2.23.1.0 or later
  4. For version 2024.1.x: Upgrade to version 2024.1.3.0 or later
  5. After upgrading, review application logs to confirm the LDAP bind password is no longer being logged in plaintext
  6. As a precautionary measure, consider rotating the LDAP bind password in case it was exposed in logs prior to the upgrade
  7. Ensure log access is restricted to authorized administrators only to limit exposure of any future sensitive data
Caveat Minor version upgrades typically have low risk; review release notes for any configuration or behavior changes
