Description
A flaw was found in hawtio-operator. When a custom Route TLS secret is configured and the operator runs at debug log level 1 or higher, the entire Route object — including the TLS private key in PEM format — is serialized to JSON and written to the operator's standard output. Operator logs are typically forwarded to centralized logging systems and readable by anyone with pods/log access in the openshift-operators namespace. Debug level 1 is a low threshold commonly enabled during troubleshooting.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

Exclude logging sensitive info or apply masking. Set the operator log verbosity to 0 (the default) to prevent TLS key material from being written to logs. If debug logging has been enabled previously, rotate any TLS secrets that may have been exposed in the logs and purge the affected log entries from centralized logging systems.
