CVE-2020-37267
Renovate 19.180.0 before 23.25.1 Token Leakage via Logs
Renovate versions >=19.180.0 and <23.25.1, when used with Azure DevOps, may expose the bot's authorization token in server or pipeline logs because the git http.extraheader=AUTHORIZATION parameter is logged without redaction. Anyone with access to saved logs could obtain the bot credentials. Fixed in 23.25.1; Azure DevOps users should revoke and regenerate credentials if logs may have been exposed.

Renovate vulnerable to Azure DevOps token leakage in logs
Impact
Applies to Azure DevOps users only. The bot's token may be exposed in server or pipeline logs due to the http.extraheader=AUTHORIZATION parameter being logged without redaction. It is recommended that Azure DevOps users revoke their existing bot credentials and generate new ones after upgrading if there's a potential that logs have been saved to a location that others can view.
Patches
Fixed in
Workarounds
Do not share Renovate logs with anyone who cannot be trusted with access to the token.
