Github's CodeQL action is provided to run CodeQL-based code scanning on non-GitHub CI/CD systems and requires a GitHub access token to connect to a GitHub repository. The runner and its documentation previously suggested passing the GitHub token as a command-line parameter to the process instead of reading it from a file, standard input, or an environment variable. This approach made the token visible to other processes on the same machine, for example in the output of the `ps` command. If the CI system publicly exposes the output of `ps`, for example by logging the output, then the GitHub access token can be exposed beyond the scope intended. Users of the CodeQL runner on 3rd-party systems, who are passing a GitHub token via the `--github-auth` flag, are affected. This applies to both GitHub.com and GitHub Enterprise users. Users of the CodeQL Action on GitHub Actions are not affected. The `--github-auth` flag is now considered insecure and deprecated. The undocumented `--external-repository-token` flag has been removed. To securely provide a GitHub access token to the CodeQL runner, users should **do one of the following instead**: Use the `--github-auth-stdin` flag and pass the token on the command line via standard input OR set the `GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variable to contain the token, then call the command without passing in the token. The old flag remains present for backwards compatibility with existing workflows. If the user tries to specify an access token using the `--github-auth` flag, there is a deprecation warning printed to the terminal that directs the user to one of the above options. All CodeQL runner releases codeql-bundle-20210304 onwards contain the patches. We recommend updating to a recent version of the CodeQL runner, storing a token in your CI system's secret storage mechanism, and passing the token to the CodeQL runner using `--github-auth-stdin` or the `GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variable. If still using the old flag, ensure that process output, such as from `ps`, is not persisted in CI logs.
Specific MongoDB Rust Driver versions can include credentials used by the connection pool to authenticate connections in the monitoring event that is emitted when the pool is created. The user's logging infrastructure could then potentially ingest these events and unexpectedly leak the credentials. Note that such monitoring is not enabled by default. This issue affects MongoDB Rust Driver version 2.0.0-alpha, MongoDB Rust Driver version 2.0.0-alpha1 and MongoDB Rust Driver version 1.0.0 through to and including 1.2.1
A vulnerability was reported in Lenovo Vantage prior to version 10.2003.10.0 that could allow an authenticated user to read files on the system with elevated privileges.
IBM Cloud Pak System 2.3 could reveal credential information in the HTTP response to a local privileged user. IBM X-Force ID: 191288.
A vulnerability in the media engine component of Cisco Webex Meetings Client for Windows, Cisco Webex Meetings Desktop App for Windows, and Cisco Webex Teams for Windows could allow an authenticated, local attacker to gain access to sensitive information. The vulnerability is due to unsafe logging of authentication requests by the affected software. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by reading log files that are stored in the application directory. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to gain access to sensitive information, which could be used in further attacks.
A vulnerability was discovered in Samsung Mobile Processors Exynos 1280, Exynos 2200, Exynos 1330, Exynos 1380, and Exynos 2400 where they do not properly check the length of the data, which can lead to a Information disclosure.
A vulnerability in the logging component of Cisco Duo Authentication for Windows Logon and RDP could allow an authenticated, local attacker to view sensitive information in clear text on an affected system. This vulnerability is due to improper storage of an unencrypted registry key in certain logs. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by accessing the logs on an affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to view sensitive information in clear text.
MSI Afterburner v4.6.5.16370 is vulnerable to a Kernel Memory Leak vulnerability by triggering the 0x80002040 IOCTL code of the RTCore64.sys driver. The handle to the driver can only be obtained from a high integrity process.
A potential vulnerability was discovered in LCFC BIOS for some Lenovo consumer notebook models that could allow a local attacker with elevated privileges under certain conditions the ability to enumerate Embedded Controller (EC) commands.
A potential vulnerability was discovered in LCFC BIOS for some Lenovo consumer notebook models that could allow a local attacker with elevated privileges to view incoming and returned data from SMI.
Exposure of Sensitive Information vulnerability in Fingerprint TA prior to SMR Feb-2023 Release 1 allows attackers to access the memory address information via log.
