Summary
A flaw was found in the must-gather component of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes. Certain ACM wrapper Custom Resources that embed Secret data are collected without redaction.
When an administrator runs must-gather, credentials and tokens are captured in cleartext in the resulting archive, potentially exposing sensitive information to anyone with access to the archive. The must-gather archive may be shared with support teams or stored externally, creating an information disclosure risk for credentials embedded in these resources.
Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N). Weakness: CWE-312.
