Package

pip dbt-core (pip)

Affected versions

>=1.7.0, <1.7.3

Patched versions

>=1.7.3

Description

Impact

When used to pull source code from a private repository using a Personal Access Token (PAT), some versions of dbt-core write a URL with the PAT in plaintext to the package-lock.yml file.

Patches

The bug has been fixed in dbt-core v1.7.3.

Mitigations

Remove any git URLs with plaintext secrets from package-lock.yml file(s) on servers, workstations, or in source control. Rotate any tokens that have been written to version-controlled files.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
