GHSA-vmcp-66r5-3pcp: Steeltoe Leaks Basic Auth Credentials to Logs After Fetch Registry Error

Summary

When utilizing multiple Eureka server service URLs with basic auth and encountering an issue with fetching the service registry, an error is logged with the Eureka server service URLs but only the first URL is masked.

Details

Package: Steeltoe.Discovery.Eureka
Package version: 3.2.1
Branch: “release/3.2”
File name: DiscoveryClient.cs
Line number: 325
Code in question: _logger.LogError(e, "FetchRegistry Failed for Eureka service urls: {EurekaServerServiceUrls}", new Uri(ClientConfig.EurekaServerServiceUrls).ToMaskedString());

Error message in logs: FetchRegistry Failed for Eureka service urls: https://****:****@eureka1.com:443/eureka,https://user:[email protected]:443/eureka

I thought new Uri(clientOptions.EurekaServerServiceUrls) would throw a UriFormatException since there are multiple URLs but my logs are showing two URLs regardless.

PoC

1. Set Eureka config with multiple server URLs with basic auth
2. Apologies for not being more descriptive for this step, but I believe we would just need to trigger an exception in FetchFullRegistryAsync.
3. Check the logs and should see the error

Impact

Vulnerability: Credential leakage in the logs
Who does it impact?: Users who are using peer awareness with Spring Eureka
