What is CVE-2026-34020?

A security issue in Apache OpenMeetings arises from the use of the HTTP GET method for the REST login endpoint, where sensitive user credentials, such as usernames and passwords, are transmitted as query parameters.

It is recommended that users upgrade to version 9.0.0 or later to mitigate this vulnerability.
