CVE-2024-39314

Administrative credential disclosure via visible command-line argument

Published Jul 1, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Sensitive information exposure in KisaragiEffective toy-blog 0.4.3 through 0.4.15 allows local users to read its administrative token. The Run argument parser accepts --bearer-token as a String and places that value in WRITE_TOKEN while leaving the secret visible in the process command line. A low-privileged local user who can inspect that process command line can recover the credential; published GitHub assessments disagree on whether subsequent content modification is in scope.
