How the Mentioned CVE Works:
The vulnerability exists in the initialization routine of Llama Stack when integrating with a pgvector database. During the startup sequence, the application logs a detailed connection status message. This log entry includes the full database connection string constructed by the software. The connection string incorporates the plaintext password for the pgvector database instance. The logging function does not sanitize or redact this sensitive field before writing the entry to standard application logs, which are typically stored on disk. Any process or user with read access to these log files can extract the database password, leading to a full compromise of the vector database.
