Summary
A flaw was found in Renovate. When used with Azure DevOps, the bot's authorization token may be exposed in server or pipeline logs.
This occurs because the `git http.extraheader=AUTHORIZATION` parameter is logged without redaction. An attacker with access to these logs could obtain the bot's credentials, leading to unauthorized access.
This flaw has an IMPORTANT impact on Renovate, which logged authorization tokens without redaction, potentially disclosing them to anyone with access to the log output. The version of Renovate shipped by Red Hat is well beyond the upstream fix (23.25.1); the unredacted-logging code is not present in the shipped version, so Red Hat's product is not affected.
Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 7.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N). Weakness: CWE-538.
