Summary
The slack-morphism crate from 1.0.0 before 2.28.0 writes the correct Slack request signature to logs when signature verification fails. Its error type stores the valid HMAC, and its Debug and Display output and the default Axum listener error handler expose it (CWE-532). An attacker who can reach the Slack callback endpoint and read application logs can obtain valid signatures for chosen requests and replay them to bypass verification without the signing secret.

Description from the CNA
Slack Morphism is a client library for Slack Web/Events API/Socket Mode and Block Kit. Versions 1.0.0 through 2.27.0 expose the correct Slack request HMAC when signature verification fails. For an invalid request, `slack-morphism` computes the correct signature for the attacker-controlled timestamp and request body and stores it in `SlackEventWrongSignatureError.generated_hash`. The error's `Debug` and `Display` representations expose that value, and the default Axum listener error handler logs it at error level. An attacker who can both reach the application's Slack callback endpoint and read its application/service logs can therefore use the verifier as a chosen-message HMAC oracle. The attacker can send an arbitrary request with an invalid signature, recover the correct signature from the resulting log entry, and resend the same request within the five-minute freshness window. The second request passes Slack Morphism's signature verification and reaches the protected application callback without the attacker knowing the Slack signing secret. Version 2.28.0 patches the issue.
