CVE-2019-14885Network attack vector

Vault secret disclosure via CLI reload logging

Published Jan 23, 2020 · Updated Aug 5, 2024

Sensitive-data logging in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform before 7.2.6.GA allows remote authenticated users to read Vault data. A JBoss CLI reload writes a Vault-backed system property security attribute value into the JBoss EAP log instead of keeping it masked. Exploitation requires authenticated management access to issue the reload and retrieve the resulting log content, exposing confidentiality without altering service state.
