Technical details

The postgres_exporter component logs the monitoring user password in cleartext upon database connection failures, allowing anyone with log file access to extract credentials. The vulnerability requires local or administrative access to read application logs. The issue has been fixed by switching away from legacy data source format in the exporter configuration.
