Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 17:08 – Updated: 2023-01-14 05:27Azure AD Plugin stores a client secret in its global configuration.
While the credential is stored encrypted on disk, it is transmitted in plain text as part of the configuration form by Azure AD Plugin 1.1.2 and earlier. This can result in exposure of the credential through browser extensions, cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, and similar situations.
Azure AD Plugin 1.2.0 transmits the client secret in its global configuration encrypted.

GHSA-WG65-39GG-5WFJ
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-05 19:33 – Updated: 2026-08-27 15:31Impact
Users who use Azure AD remote write with OAuth authentication are impacted.
The client_secret field in the Azure AD remote write OAuth configuration (storage/remote/azuread) was typed as string instead of Secret. Prometheus redacts fields of type Secret when serving the configuration via the /-/config HTTP API endpoint. Because the field was a plain string, the Azure OAuth client secret was exposed in plaintext to any user or process with access to that endpoint.
Patches
The problem has been patched by changing ClientSecret in OAuthConfig to Secret. Users should upgrade to 3.11.3 or 3.5.3 LTS.
Workarounds
Users who can not upgrade can switch to Managed Identity or Workload Identity authentication for Azure AD remote write, which do not involve a client secret.

Mitigation
Avoid storing passwords in easily accessible locations.
Mitigation
Consider storing cryptographic hashes of passwords as an alternative to storing in plaintext.
Mitigation
A programmer might attempt to remedy the password management problem by obscuring the password with an encoding function, such as base 64 encoding, but this effort does not adequately protect the password because the encoding can be detected and decoded easily.
