Local credential disclosure via process arguments
Published Aug 29, 2022 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Credential exposure in Red Hat Convert2RHEL before 0.26 allows local users to read a Red Hat account password from process arguments. The registration path constructs a subscription-manager command containing the password, exposing the secret through process listings such as ps or htop. A local account must observe the short-lived registration process; the stolen credential's reach depends on the Red Hat account's privileges.
