Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File Pre-CVE
Found by Aikido Intel before public disclosure or CVE publication.

25

Low Risk

This Affects:

PYTHONcelery
5.5.0 - 5.5.3
Fixed in 5.6.0

TL;DR

Affected versions of this package may expose sensitive information in log files. When setting up delayed delivery, Celery logs the full broker URL —including the embedded username and password— directly to the DelayedDelivery consumer output. This results in credential leakage and violates standard security practices that prohibit storing secrets in logs.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a vulnerable version of the package.

celery is vulnerable to Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File in versions 5.5.0 - 5.5.3.
