CVE-2026-44934
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 · uneditedA information disclosure when DEBUG loglevel is set in SUSE Rancher AI Agent 1.0 before 1.0.2 could leak API keys or LLM response text with potential sensitive data into logfiles, allowing local attackers to misuse respective gained data or credentials.
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 · high confidenceIn SUSE Rancher AI Agent 1.0 before 1.0.2, enabling DEBUG loglevel causes the application to write sensitive information (API keys and LLM response text) directly into log files. This exposes credentials and sensitive data that local attackers with file system access can retrieve and exploit.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the installed version of SUSE Rancher AI AgentRun the version command or check the package metadata for the Rancher AI Agent installation (e.g., 'rke-agent --version', 'rpm -q rancher-ai-agent', or consult the Rancher UI for the AI Agent add-on version)Affected if The installed version is 1.0.0 or 1.0.1 (any version before 1.0.2)
-
Locate the log configuration fileFind the configuration file that controls logging for the AI Agent service; common locations include /etc/rancher/ai-agent/, /var/lib/rancher/ai-agent/config/, or within the Rancher management plane settingsAffected if The configuration file cannot be found or does not exist
-
Verify the current loglevel settingInspect the logging configuration file or environment variables for the 'loglevel' or 'LOG_LEVEL' setting and confirm whether it is set to 'DEBUG' (case-insensitive)Affected if The loglevel is explicitly set to DEBUG or debug
-
Examine recent log files for sensitive contentList and read log files in the AI Agent log directory (typically under /var/log/rancher/ai-agent/ or the configured log path) and search for strings resembling API keys, bearer tokens, or LLM response fragmentsAffected if Log files contain plaintext API keys, token values, or LLM response data
-
Check for exposed credentials in system logsIf DEBUG logging was previously enabled, review /var/log/messages, journalctl, or other system log aggregation for any AI Agent entries containing credential-like patterns (e.g., 'Bearer ', 'api_key=', long alphanumeric strings)Affected if System logs contain AI Agent entries with exposed credentials or sensitive data
You are affected if the installed version is before 1.0.2 AND DEBUG loglevel is or was enabled, resulting in sensitive data appearing in log files.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade to version 1.0.2 or later. Until then, ensure DEBUG loglevel is disabled in production and restrict file system access to log directories.
SUSE Rancher AI Agent 1.0.2
- 1. Identify the SUSE Rancher AI Agent installation location and verify the current version is 1.0.0 or 1.0.2
- 2. Obtain SUSE Rancher AI Agent version 1.0.2 or later from the official SUSE repository or vendor distribution channel
- 3. Back up the current configuration and data directories
- 4. Stop the SUSE Rancher AI Agent service
- 5. Install/apply version 1.0.2
- 6. Start the SUSE Rancher AI Agent service
- 7. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the version number
- 8. Ensure the production logging configuration is set to loglevel INFO or higher (not DEBUG) to prevent sensitive data leakage
