## Overview

A flaw was found in the FreeIPA API audit, where it sends the whole FreeIPA command line to journalctl. As a consequence, during the FreeIPA installation process, it inadvertently leaks the administrative user credentials, including the administrator password, to the journal database. In the worst-case scenario, where the journal log is centralized, users with access to it can have improper access to the FreeIPA administrator credentials.

## Affected

- `freeipa`
- `ipa (all versions)`
- `ipa`
- `ipa`
- `idm:client/ipa`
- `idm:DL1/ipa`

## Remediation

Refer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.

### Workarounds
