# CVE-2024-11029: Freeipa: administrative user data leaked through systemd journal

Status: published. Published: 2025-01-15. Updated: 2026-11-05.

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.
