CVEProject/cve-services is an open source project used to operate the CVE services API. A conditional in 'data.js' has potential for production secrets to be written to disk. The affected method writes the generated randomKey to disk if the environment is not development. If this method were called in production, it is possible that it would write the plaintext key to disk. A patch is not available as of time of publication but is anticipated as a "hot fix" for version 1.1.1 and for the 2.x branch.
The product logs too much information, making log files hard to process and possibly hindering recovery efforts or forensic analysis after an attack.
The product stores sensitive information in cleartext within a resource that might be accessible to another control sphere.
