Security readout for executives and security teams
OpenStack Ceilometer could write database connection strings, including DB2 or MongoDB passwords, into log files when INFO logging was enabled. A local user who can read those logs could recover the database password. The issue is limited to Ceilometer 2013.2 and earlier with affected backends and logging configuration. Exposure is likely only in legacy OpenStack deployments running Ceilometer 2013.2 or earlier, using DB2 or MongoDB storage, with INFO logging enabled and logs readable by non-administrative local users. Treat this as a credential hygiene issue for legacy OpenStack environments. It is not presented as remotely exploitable, but exposed database passwords can enable broader compromise if logs were accessible. Mitigation focus: Check OpenStack and distribution guidance for fixed Ceilometer packages or backports.; Avoid INFO logging on affected DB2 or MongoDB Ceilometer backends until fixed.; Restrict Ceilometer log file access to required administrative users only..
