## Technical details

HCL DevOps Deploy and HCL Launch (formerly IBM UrbanCode Deploy) contain a vulnerability classified as CWE-532 (Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File). The application incorrectly records potentially sensitive data into log files stored on the local file system. An attacker with local access to the host machine can read these files without requiring elevated privileges or specific user interaction. This exposure can lead to the compromise of credentials, tokens, or system configurations. Affected versions include the 7.3, 8.0, 8.1, and 8.2 release streams up to their respective patched levels.
