CVE-2024-37283Network attack vector

Policy-secret disclosure via unredacted debug logging

Published Aug 8, 2024 · Updated Aug 9, 2024

Sensitive information exposure in Elastic Agent allows remote authenticated users to read policy secrets from debug-level monitoring logs. Affected releases write the policy's components field, which can contain secrets, to monitoring logs without redaction at debug level. Exposure requires a self-managed deployment with the nondefault debug log level; the default info level does not leak the policy data.
