Description
The Spring Boot language server logs the raw value of the https_proxy/HTTPS_PROXY/http_proxy/HTTP_PROXY environment variable at INFO level whenever it creates an outbound HTTP client and no explicit http.proxy workspace setting is configured. Corporate proxy URLs frequently embed Basic-auth credentials in the form http://user:pass@proxy:8080, and the language server writes this value to its log file without any redaction. Since language server log files are often attached to bug reports or are readable by other local users/processes, this can result in disclosure of proxy credentials.
Affected Spring Products and Versions:
Spring Tools for Eclipse: 5.2.0 and earlier
Spring Tools for VSCode / Cursor / Theia: 2.2.0 and earlier

AI Analysis

Impact

The Spring Boot language server logs the raw values of the https_proxy/HTTPS_PROXY/http_proxy/HTTP_PROXY environment variables at INFO level whenever it constructs an outbound HTTP client and no explicit http.proxy workspace setting is configured. Corporate proxy URLs often embed Basic‑authentication credentials, and the server writes this unredacted value to its log file. The logging of these credentials amounts to a disclosure of sensitive information (CWE-532).

Affected Systems

Spring Tools for Eclipse versions 5.2.0 and earlier, and Spring Tools for VSCode / Cursor / Theia versions 2.2.0 and earlier are affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 3.3 indicates a low‑impact vulnerability, and the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a very low but non‑zero probability of exploitation. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is local: an attacker who gains access to the environment running the language server or to its log files can read the logged proxy credentials. No remote code execution or privilege escalation is possible, but the exposure of authentication data could be leveraged against the corporate proxy or downstream services.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to Spring Tools for Eclipse 5.2.1 or later and Spring Tools for VSCode / Cursor / Theia 2.2.1 or later, which remove the vulnerability.
  • Set an explicit http.proxy workspace setting to suppress automatic logging of the environment variable.
  • Restrict access to language server log files or redact credentials before distributing logs.
