Laravel Framework Database Credential Exposure Through laravel.log

IdentifiersCVE-2024-29291CWE-200· Exposure of Sensitive Information…

CVE-2024-29291 concerns a claimed information-disclosure issue affecting Laravel Framework versions 8.x through 11.x. Database connection errors logged to storage/logs/laravel.log may contain database connection details, including usernames and passwords. A remote party could recover these credentials if the log file is web-accessible. The issue is disputed: Laravel installation owners choose whether debugging information is logged and are responsible for applying access controls appropriate to the sensitivity of logged data.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

If a Laravel log file containing PDO connection-error details is publicly accessible, an attacker may obtain database credentials. The recovered credentials could enable unauthorized access to the associated database, subject to the credentials remaining valid and the database accepting connections from the attacker.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

Disable or limit debug logging in production as appropriate, prevent public exposure of application storage directories, and continuously review logs for secrets. Where database credentials may have been exposed, revoke and replace them and investigate access to the affected log files.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Restrict access to Laravel log files, including storage/logs/laravel.log, so they cannot be retrieved by unauthenticated web users. Review web-server configuration to ensure application storage directories are not publicly served. Avoid logging sensitive connection data where possible, and rotate database credentials if exposure is suspected.
