Official Description
Redpanda before 22.3.12 discloses cleartext AWS credentials. The import functionality in the rpk binary logs an AWS Access Key ID and Secret in cleartext to standard output, allowing a local user to view the key in the console, or in Kubernetes logs if stdout output is collected. The fixed versions are 22.3.12, 22.2.10, and 22.1.12.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2023-24619 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), with a CVSS base score of 5.5.
