Description
Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information vulnerability in Apache Juneau.

The REST server sends the internal exception class and message to clients in a "Thrown" response header on every error response, and can include internal exception messages in the error body, even when stack-trace rendering is disabled. This reveals implementation details to remote clients.

This issue affects Apache Juneau: through 9.2.0.

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

Impact

The Apache Juneau REST server mistakenly includes the internal exception class name and detailed error message in a "Thrown" response header on every error condition, and can also embed sensitive exception details within the error body even when stack‑trace rendering is disabled. This exposure reveals implementation details that could help an attacker identify vulnerable components, craft more targeted attacks or infer proprietary logic. The flaw is a pure information‑disclosure issue that does not allow direct exploitation but enables a richer attack surface for subsequent attacks.

Affected Systems

Apache Juneau versions through 9.2.0, distributed by the Apache Software Foundation. No other vendors or product variants are listed as affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 10 classifies this as a critical vulnerability. Although no EPSS score is available and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, the straightforward remote discovery via standard HTTP error responses and the severity of the disclosed information make it a high‑risk exposure. An attacker can trigger arbitrary error conditions, read the sensitive header and body contents, and use that data to inform further exploitation attempts.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Apache Juneau to version 9.2.1 or later to eliminate the "Thrown" header and suppress internal exception messages in error responses.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, reconfigure the server to remove the "Thrown" header from all error responses and ensure that detailed exception information is never included in the response body.
  • Monitor server logs for any residual disclosure of sensitive information or unexpected error response contents.
