These have been logged in raw form since https://github.com/softwarepub/hermes/commit/7f64f102e916c76dc44404b77ab2a80f5a4e59b1 in: https://github.com/softwarepub/hermes/blob/3a92f42b2b976fdbc2c49a621de6d665364a7cee/src/hermes/commands/cli.py#L66\n\nIf users provide sensitive data such as API tokens (e.g., via `hermes deposit -O invenio_rdm.auth_token SECRET`), these are written to the log file in plain text, making them available to whoever can access the log file.\n\n### Impact\n\nAs currently, `hermes.log` is not yet uploaded automatically as an artifact in CI, this vuln impacts:\n\n- local users working on shared access computers, where logs may be written to a commonly accessible file system\n- CI users whose CI logs are accessible to others, e.g., through group or organization rights\n\nPotentially, if the changes merged from https://github.com/softwarepub/ci-templates/pull/13 are merged into `ci-templates` via https://github.com/softwarepub/ci-templates/pull/14, this would automate the disclosure of Invenio auth tokens at least for all CI runs against Invenio instances!\n\n### Patches\n\nThis has been patched in [`hermes` 0.9.1](TODO) by masking all values passed using `-O`.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nUpgrade to `hermes` >= 0.9.1.\n\n## Affected packages\n\n- `hermes >= 0.8.1, < 0.9.1`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade to a patched release:\n\n- `hermes 0.9.1`","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":32,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":32.5,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
