CVE-2022-43877

Password disclosure via unencrypted agent relay properties

Published May 6, 2023 · Updated Jan 29, 2025

Information disclosure in IBM DevOps Deploy through 7.3.0.1 allows local users to read passwords from an agent relay configuration file. After agentrelay.properties is manually given a plaintext value, a service restart fails to encrypt that value as expected. Exposure requires a manual plaintext edit and local access to the relay file; the documented consequence is password disclosure only.
