CWE-532: Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File

The product writes sensitive information to a log file.

How to prevent it
  • Architecture and Design, Implementation: Consider seriously the sensitivity of the information written into log files. Do not write secrets into the log files.
  • Distribution: Remove debug log files before deploying the application into production.
  • Operation: Protect log files against unauthorized read/write.
  • Implementation: Adjust configurations appropriately when software is transitioned from a debug state to production.
