CVE-2021-3425

JDBC credential disclosure via application log writes

Published Jun 1, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Sensitive-data exposure in Red Hat AMQ Broker as shipped in Red Hat AMQ 7 allows local users to read encrypted JDBC credentials from logs. When JDBC persistence is enabled, the broker writes encrypted database usernames and passwords into its application log instead of suppressing them. Local high-privileged access to the broker log is required, and the reported consequence is credential disclosure without data modification or service interruption.
