External-service key disclosure via cleartext settings display

Published Dec 26, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Cleartext secret storage in GROWI before 6.0.6 allows remote authenticated users to read external-service access keys via /admin/app. The App Settings page returns the configured Secret access key in cleartext instead of masking the stored value. Administrative access to /admin/app is required, and exposure is limited to confidentiality of configured external-service credentials.
