CVE-2026-73100: Apache Juneau sensitive information insertion in log file

CVE-2026-73100 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-05

Apache Juneau is a REST framework library used to build web services. When a server error occurs, the default logger writes request headers—including Authorization, Cookie, and API keys—in plain text to application logs without redacting sensitive data. Anyone with access to the application logs can read these credentials, leading to account compromise and data breach.

Technologies: Apache Juneau. Vendors: Apache.

Technical details

The REST server call logger in Apache Juneau fails to redact sensitive HTTP request headers (Authorization, Cookie, Proxy-Authorization, X-API-Key) when logging server errors. This is a cleartext information disclosure affecting the default logging behavior; no authentication or special network access is required—any client able to trigger a server error will cause credentials to be written to logs. The vulnerability is fixed in version 9.2.1.
