Summary
The REST Data Panache component of Quarkus, shipped in the Red Hat build of Quarkus, does not enforce a @SecureField annotation placed on an entity's getter method when generated REST resources filter and sort records. An authenticated user with low privileges can infer sensitive values by observing which records match filter criteria or how results are ordered, even though the values are omitted from responses. This flaw is classified as CWE-863, Incorrect Authorization.

Description from the CNA
A flaw was found in the REST Data Panache component of Quarkus. When a security constraint is applied to an entity property using the @SecureField annotation on its getter method rather than the field itself, the generated REST resource fails to enforce this constraint for filtering and sorting operations. This allows an authenticated user to infer sensitive data values by observing which records match specific filter criteria or how they are ordered, even though the values are omitted from the final response.
