Technical details

When KNIME Analytics Platform LTS versions before 5.8.4 operate as an executor, configured proxy credentials are written to log files during startup. An attacker with log file access can extract these credentials and use the proxy service with the privileges of the original configuring user. The vulnerability requires log file access but does not require authentication or network interaction beyond that.
