CVE-2025-1296Network attack vector

Credential disclosure via unredacted event logging

Published Mar 10, 2025 · Updated Mar 11, 2025

Sensitive-data exposure in HashiCorp Nomad before 1.9.7 allows remote authenticated users to obtain workload and OIDC tokens. A logging utility writes unredacted workload identity and OIDC client secret values to the event stream and, with Enterprise audit logging enabled, its log file. Access to the affected auth-method API requires a management token, while access to generated logs can enable impersonation or entry to protected resources.
