CVE-2022-35798

Credential disclosure via world-readable provisioning logs

Published May 18, 2023 · Updated Jul 8, 2025

Information disclosure in Azure Arc Jumpstart before 2.0 allows local users to read deployment credentials from provisioning logs. The client-provisioning script writes service principal, database, and other secrets in plaintext to a Custom Script Extension status log readable by every local account. Any local account can recover those credentials; reused service principals or database accounts extend the exposure to their associated privileges and systems.
