CONFIRMED — b42ff5049f74
- Vulnerability
- Sensitive Information Exposure
- Root Cause
- The Terraform provider writes sensitive information (such as API tokens or secrets) to debug logs without proper redaction, exposing them to anyone with access to the logs.
- Pattern
Logging sensitive variables directly without redaction (e.g., log.Printf("Token: %s", token)) or missing Sensitive: true in the Terraform schema.- Causal Chain
- The blamed commit initialized the 'createOpts' struct containing the sensitive 'Token' field and passed the entire struct into 'tflog.Debug', causing the sensitive token to be written to the provider logs.
- Reasoning
- The blamed commit introduced the file and the specific logging statement that logs the entire 'createOpts' struct, which includes the sensitive 'Token' field. The fix commit subsequently removed this broad logging of the struct to prevent the exposure of the token.
