CVE-2023-5384Network attack vector

Clear-text credential exposure via config serialization

Published Dec 18, 2023 · Updated Nov 20, 2025

Information disclosure in Infinispan allows remote authenticated users to obtain cache-store credentials via configuration serialization. The cache configuration serializer emits JDBC connection-pool and remote-store credentials in clear text when producing XML, JSON, or YAML. Access requires authenticated control of cache configuration, and the consequence is credential disclosure that can enable follow-on access to the configured stores.
