Cloud Foundry Garden-runC, versions prior to 1.11.0, contains an information exposure vulnerability. A user with access to Garden logs may be able to obtain leaked credentials and perform authenticated actions using those credentials.

Weakness

The product inserts sensitive information into debugging code, which could expose this information if the debugging code is not disabled in production.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Cf-deployment Cloudfoundry * 1.9.0 (excluding)
Garden-runc-release Cloudfoundry * 1.11.0 (excluding)

Potential Mitigations

  • Compartmentalize the system to have “safe” areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
  • Ensure that appropriate compartmentalization is built into the system design, and the compartmentalization allows for and reinforces privilege separation functionality. Architects and designers should rely on the principle of least privilege to decide the appropriate time to use privileges and the time to drop privileges.
