Vendor
CVE Published:
28 January 2020

Summary

The Apache Jackrabbit Oak before version 1.22.0 contains a vulnerability that may allow sensitive information disclosure. This occurs when the system mandates that a changed password be included as an additional attribute in the credentials object. However, this attribute is not removed during the initial phase of authentication processing. If multiple authentication methods are used, it could potentially expose the new password, thereby compromising the security of user accounts.

Affected Version(s)

Apache Jackrabbit Oak 1.2.0 to 1.22.0
