Description

Summary

Access token from query string is not redacted and is potentially exposed in system logs which may be persisted.

Details

The access token in req.query is not redacted when the LOG_STYLE is set to raw. If these logs are not properly sanitized or protected, an attacker with access to it can potentially gain administrative control, leading to unauthorized data access and manipulation.

PoC

  1. Set LOG_LEVEL="raw" in the environment.
  2. Send a request with the access_token in the query string.
  3. Notice that the access_token in req.query is not redacted.

Impact

It impacts systems where the LOG_STYLE is set to raw. The access_token in the query could potentially be a long-lived static token. Users with impacted systems should rotate their static tokens if they were provided using query string.
