CWE-532 : Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File
Information written to log files can be of a sensitive nature and give valuable guidance to an attacker or expose sensitive user information. Automated static analysis, commonly referred to as Static Application Security Testing (SAST), can find some instances of this weakness by analyzing source code (or binary/compiled code) without having to execute it. Typically, this is done by building a model of data flow and control flow, then searching for potentially-vulnerable patterns that connect "sources" (origins of input) with "sinks" (destinations where the data interacts with external components, a lower layer such as the OS, etc.) Consider seriously the sensitivity of the information written into log files. Do not write secrets into the log files. Remove debug log files before deploying the application into production. Protect log files against unauthorized read/write. Adjust configurations appropriately when software is transitioned from a debug state to production. verbose logging stores admin credentials in a world-readable log file SSH password for private key stored in build log
