Credential disclosure via unmasked Admin GUI logging
Published Sep 11, 2024 · Updated Sep 11, 2024
Sensitive information exposure in affected Payara Server releases allows local users to read plaintext administrator passwords from logs. At FINEST level, the org.glassfish.admingui logger records an unmasked new password submitted through the Admin GUI password-change operation. Exploitation requires nondefault FINEST logging, an administrator changing a password, and access to the resulting server log; the disclosed credential can then be reused.
