Credential disclosure via debug-level LDAP call tracing
Published Feb 19, 2025 · Updated Nov 13, 2025
Sensitive-data logging in affected Checkmk releases allows local users with administrator access to read LDAP credentials from Apache error logs. With LDAP logging set to Debug and LDAP integration configured, the integration traces each python-ldap function call and its arguments, including usernames and cleartext passwords, into var/log/apache/error_log. Exposure requires LDAP integration, the non-default Debug log level, a login attempt, and administrator access to the site log; the disclosed credentials can then be reused against the directory.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=2.1.0 <=2.1.0p50
- Affected versionversion=2.2.0 <2.2.0p40
- Affected versionversion=2.3.0 <2.3.0p27
