Description

In Docker CE and EE before 18.09.8 (as well as Docker EE before 17.06.2-ee-23 and 18.x before 18.03.1-ee-10), Docker Engine in debug mode may sometimes add secrets to the debug log. This applies to a scenario where docker stack deploy is run to redeploy a stack that includes (non external) secrets. It potentially applies to other API users of the stack API if they resend the secret.

Affected products

• Docker Engine: from 18.09.0 before 18.09.8; before 18.09.8; 17.03.2-1, 17.03.2-2, 17.03.2-3, 17.03.2-4, 17.03.2-5, 17.03.2-6 (+32) — fixed in 18.09.8

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Docker Engine 18.09.8. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
