Summary

Apache Juneau through 9.2.0 contains a flaw classified as CWE-522, insufficiently protected credentials, in its RestClient. When the client follows an HTTP redirect to a different host or port, or from HTTPS to HTTP, it keeps credential headers such as Authorization, Cookie and X-API-Key. A remote attacker who controls the server the client is redirected to can receive those credentials without authentication or user interaction.

Description from the CNA

Insufficiently Protected Credentials vulnerability in Apache Juneau. The Apache Juneau RestClient followed HTTP redirects while keeping credential headers from the original request, so a server that redirected the client to a different host or port, or from HTTPS to HTTP, could receive headers such as Authorization, Cookie, Proxy-Authorization and X-API-Key. This issue affects Apache Juneau: through 9.2.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 9.2.1, which fixes the issue. The fix applies to HTTP clients created by the RestClient builder; applications that supply their own HttpClient must disable automatic redirects or strip credential headers on cross-origin redirects themselves.
