AI-suggested

Until an official fix is released, users should avoid submitting crash reports that may contain sensitive information or review logs before submission if possible. Monitor official Canonical advisories for updates and apply patches promptly once available.

Description

In Ubuntu, Subiquity version 24.04.4 could leak sensitive user credentials during crash reporting. Upon installation failure, if a user submitted a bug report to Launchpad, Subiquity could include certain user credentials, such as the user's plaintext Wi-Fi password, in the attached logs.
