CVE-2023-46742

User impersonation via credential logging

Published Jan 3, 2024 · Updated Jun 3, 2025

Sensitive-data exposure in CubeFS before 3.3.1 allows local users to obtain access and secret keys from user-creation logs. The createKey function in master/user.go passes the new user's identifier, access key, and secret key to log.LogInfof without redaction. Access to master logs and a user-creation event is required; exposed credentials allow impersonation of the corresponding user.
