Summary
Cillium exposes sensitive information included in the cilium-bugtool debug archive
Details

Impact

The output of cilium-bugtool can contain sensitive data when the tool is run against Cilium deployments with WireGuard encryption enabled.

Users of WireGuard Transparent Encryption are affected. The sensitive data is the WireGuard private key (cilium_wg0.key) used for node-to-node encrypted communication

cilium-bugtool is a debugging tool that is typically invoked manually and does not run during the normal operation of a Cilium cluster. It is also invoked when gathering sysdumps using the Cilium CLI's cilium sysdump command.

Patches

This issue affects:

  • Cilium v1.19 between v1.19.0 and v1.19.2 inclusive
  • Cilium v1.18 between v1.18.0 and v1.18.8 inclusive
  • All versions of Cilium prior to v1.17.15

This issue has been patched in:

  • Cilium v1.19.3
  • Cilium v1.18.9
  • Cilium v1.17.15

Workarounds

There is no workaround to this issue.

Users who have previously shared bugtool or sysdump archives from WireGuard-enabled nodes should rotate the WireGuard keys on the affected nodes. This can be done by deleting the key file and restarting the Cilium agent, which will generate a new key pair.

Acknowledgements

The Cilium community has worked together with members of Isovalent to prepare these mitigations. Cillium extends special thanks to @kodareef5 for reporting the issue and @tklauser for their work on triaging and remediating this issue.

For more information

If there are any questions or comments about this advisory, please reach out on Slack.

Cilium strongly encourages the reporting of suspected vulnerabilities to the security mailing list at security@cilium.io. This is a private mailing list for the Cilium security team, and the report will be treated as top priority.

Details

CalInvocationHandler in Brocade SANnav before 2.3.1b logs sensitive information in clear text. The vulnerability could allow an authenticated, local attacker to view Brocade Fabric OS switch sensitive information in clear text. An attacker with administrative privileges could retrieve sensitive information including passwords; SNMP responses that contain AuthSecret and PrivSecret after collecting a “supportsave” or getting access to an already collected “supportsave”. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2024-29952

Mitigation
Implementation System Configuration Operation

When storing data in the cloud (e.g., S3 buckets, Azure blobs, Google Cloud Storage, etc.), use the provider's controls to encrypt the data at rest. [REF-1297] [REF-1299] [REF-1301]

Mitigation
Implementation System Configuration Operation

In some systems/environments such as cloud, the use of "double encryption" (at both the software and hardware layer) might be required, and the developer might be solely responsible for both layers, instead of shared responsibility with the administrator of the broader system/environment.

CAPEC-37: Retrieve Embedded Sensitive Data

An attacker examines a target system to find sensitive data that has been embedded within it. This information can reveal confidential contents, such as account numbers or individual keys/credentials that can be used as an intermediate step in a larger attack.
