Description
Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File vulnerability in Apache Juneau.

The default REST server call logger records request headers for requests that end in a server error, without redacting them. Any client able to cause a server error gets headers such as Authorization, Cookie, Proxy-Authorization and X-API-Key written in cleartext to the application log, exposing them to anyone who can read the logs.

This issue affects Apache Juneau: through 9.2.0.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 9.2.1, which fixes the issue.

Impact

In Apache Juneau, the default REST server request logger records request headers for any request that ends in a server error without redacting them. This allows any client that can trigger a server error to have sensitive headers such as Authorization, Cookie, Proxy-Authorization, and X-API-Key written in cleartext to the application log. If an attacker can read those logs, they can harvest credentials or tokens, leading to potential account compromise or further unauthorized access. The weakness is a log message redaction flaw.

Affected Systems

The affected product is Apache Juneau, all releases from the first stable release up through version 9.2.0. Versions 9.2.1 and later contain the fix. No other vendors or products are listed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score is 10, indicating a critical vulnerability. The EPSS score is not available, and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The vulnerability can be exploited by any client that can induce a server error, which is a remote attack vector requiring network access to the REST API. The exploitation path relies on the server-side logging mechanism recording unsanitized headers, so an attacker does not need insider access or privileged configuration. The high score and the clear exploitability make this vulnerability a high-priority risk.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Apache Juneau to version 9.2.1, which removes the unsanitized header logging on server errors.
  • Configure the REST server request logger to redact or exclude Authorization, Cookie, Proxy-Authorization, and X-API-Key headers if upgrade is not immediately feasible.
  • Restrict log file readability to privileged system administrators only, preventing unauthorized access to sensitive header information.
