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.
