Executive brief
IBM UrbanCode Deploy and IBM DevOps Deploy are continuous deployment platforms used to automate software releases across enterprise environments. A flaw in the property value redaction engine allows authenticated users with appropriate permissions to view sensitive credentials and configuration values that should be masked, potentially exposing passwords, API keys, and other secrets embedded in deployment configurations.
Technical details
The vulnerability is an improper removal of sensitive information (CWE-212) in the redaction engine of IBM's deployment automation products. When a deployment is configured with a secure property starting with certain non-ASCII characters, the redaction filter fails to mask subsequent ASCII secure values embedded within unsecure properties. An authenticated user with permissions to view deployment request details can exploit this via the UI or API to view plain-text sensitive values that should be redacted. The vulnerability affects versions 7.2.x, 7.3.x, 8.0.x, 8.1.x, and 8.2.x; patches are available for all affected lines.
