Information Disclosure
Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
How It Works
Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security. This happens through multiple channels: verbose error messages that display stack traces revealing internal paths and frameworks, improperly secured debug endpoints left active in production, and misconfigured servers that expose directory listings or version control artifacts like .git folders. APIs often leak excessive data in responses—returning full user objects when only a name is needed, or revealing system internals through metadata fields.
Attackers exploit these exposures systematically. They probe for common sensitive files (.env, config.php, backup archives), trigger error conditions to extract framework details, and analyze response timing or content differences to enumerate valid usernames or resources. Even subtle variations—like "invalid password" versus "user not found"—enable account enumeration. Exposed configuration files frequently contain database credentials, API keys, or internal service URLs that unlock further attack vectors.
The attack flow typically starts with passive reconnaissance: examining HTTP headers, JavaScript bundles, and public endpoints for version information and architecture clues. Active probing follows—testing predictable paths, manipulating parameters to trigger exceptions, and comparing responses across similar requests to identify information leakage patterns.
Impact
- Credential compromise: Exposed configuration files, hardcoded secrets in source code, or API keys enable direct authentication bypass
- Attack surface mapping: Stack traces, framework versions, and internal paths help attackers craft targeted exploits for known vulnerabilities
- Data breach: Direct exposure of user data, payment information, or proprietary business logic through oversharing APIs or accessible backups
- Privilege escalation pathway: Internal URLs, service discovery information, and architecture details facilitate lateral movement and SSRF attacks
- Compliance violations: GDPR, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA penalties for exposing regulated data through preventable disclosures
Real-World Examples
A major Git repository exposure affected thousands of websites when .git folders remained accessible on production servers, allowing attackers to reconstruct entire source code histories including deleted commits containing credentials. Tools like GitDumper automated mass exploitation of this misconfiguration.
Cloud storage misconfigurations have repeatedly exposed sensitive data when companies left S3 buckets or Azure Blob containers publicly readable. One incident exposed 150 million voter records because verbose API error messages revealed the storage URL structure, and no authentication was required.
Framework debug modes left enabled in production have caused numerous breaches. Django's DEBUG=True setting exposed complete stack traces with database queries and environment variables, while Laravel's debug pages revealed encryption keys through the APP_KEY variable in environment dumps.
Mitigation
- Generic error pages: Return uniform error messages to users; log detailed exceptions server-side only
- Disable debug modes: Enforce production configurations that suppress stack traces, verbose logging, and debug endpoints through deployment automation
- Access control audits: Restrict or remove development artifacts (
.git, backup files,phpinfo()) and internal endpoints before deployment - Response minimization: API responses should return only necessary fields; implement allowlists rather than blocklists for data exposure
- Security headers: Deploy
X-Content-Type-Options, remove server version banners, and disable directory indexing - Timing consistency: Ensure authentication and validation responses take uniform time regardless of input validity
Recent CVEs (73917)
Authenticated users with time or cost entry viewing permissions can read private work package subjects and IDs via the OpenProject REST API in versions prior to 17.6.0. The /api/v3/time_entries and /api/v3/cost_entries endpoints expose _links.workPackage.title and _links.workPackage.href through the associated_resource rendering path without enforcing WorkPackage.visible or view_work_packages permission checks. An attacker with only view_time_entries or view_cost_entries can enumerate titles and IDs of work packages they should not have access to, violating project confidentiality controls. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing exists; the fix is available in v17.6.0.
Plugin output logs in IBM UrbanCode Deploy and IBM DevOps Deploy expose sensitive step values to any authenticated user with log access, across a wide range of actively-maintained versions spanning both product lines. The CVSS PR:L vector confirms that a low-privileged authenticated user - such as a developer or operator - who can view deployment logs may read sensitive values such as credentials, API tokens, or configuration secrets that plugin steps emit without redaction. No public exploit code exists and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, but the risk is practically elevated in CI/CD environments where plugin steps routinely handle high-value secrets.
The /unpack endpoint in Apache Tika's server component (tika-server 4.0.0-alpha-1) fails to enforce the operator-configured enableUnsecureFeatures=false security control, classified as Improper Protection of Alternate Path. This means the /unpack endpoint remains fully operational even when administrators have explicitly disabled unsafe features, bypassing the intended security boundary and allowing archive extraction or untrusted content processing through a restricted interface. No public exploit code has been identified and the vulnerability is confined to a pre-production alpha release, significantly limiting real-world exposure.
Insufficient session expiration in the MikroTik RouterOS API allows authenticated users whose permissions have been reduced to retain their prior, elevated access rights for the duration of the stale session. Specifically, when a user's group membership or permission set is downgraded, or when an inactivity timeout is expected to expire a session, the RouterOS API fails to re-evaluate or invalidate the existing session token - exposing confidential routing, firewall, or credential data the user should no longer reach. No public exploit has been identified and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog; however, ICS-CERT's publication of ICSA-26-211-01 signals elevated concern for operational technology networks where MikroTik devices are used for segmentation and industrial network management.
Uncontrolled decompression in aiohttp's WebSocket client prior to version 3.14.2 allows a malicious server to exhaust CPU and memory on connecting clients by sending RSV1-flagged compressed frames without having negotiated the permessage-deflate extension. The root cause is a missing constructor argument in `client.py:_ws_connect` that caused `WebSocketReader` to default to `compress=True`, violating RFC 6455 §5.2 which mandates failing the connection on undefined reserved bits. This is client-side exposure only - aiohttp server deployments are not affected. No active exploitation has been identified and no public exploit code exists at time of analysis.
Verbose technical error message disclosure in IBM Verify Identity Access and IBM Security Verify Access (both appliance and container editions) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to harvest internal application details returned directly in the browser. Affected versions span IBM Verify Identity Access 11.0-11.0.2, IBM Security Verify Access 10.0-10.0.9.1, and their respective container variants. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis; however, the zero-authentication barrier and the reconnaissance value of exposed technical data elevate this beyond a benign information leak, as harvested details can directly inform more damaging follow-on attacks against an identity management system.
Broken access control in IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0-1.8.4 exposes private flow files through two distinct endpoint flaws: the image retrieval endpoint enforces no authentication whatsoever, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to access any user's image files given a valid flow ID and filename; separately, the file download endpoint, while requiring authentication, fails to validate resource ownership, enabling any authenticated user to access files belonging to other tenants via IDOR. Both flaws break tenant isolation in multi-user deployments and result in unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; a vendor patch is available.
Cross-buffer memory aliasing in msgpack-ruby prior to 1.8.2 allows same-process code to read or corrupt data belonging to a separate MessagePack::Buffer instance via a use-after-free in the rmem slab allocator. MessagePack::Buffer#clear returns a 4 KiB rmem page to the shared pool but leaves rmem_last, rmem_end, and rmem_owner pointing into the freed page; a subsequent write on the cleared buffer and a concurrent second Buffer allocation can claim the same physical page, creating a memory alias that exposes the second buffer's serialized bytes. A PoC is included in the vendor advisory (GHSA-4mrv-5p47-p938); no public exploit identified at time of analysis beyond that PoC, and the CVE is not in CISA KEV.
Denial of service in Samba's Kerberos KDC password change (kpasswd) service allows authenticated remote attackers to crash the KDC process by submitting specially crafted, malformed ASN.1-encoded password change requests. The server miscalculates the structure size of the incoming request and reads up to six bytes beyond the end of the allocated buffer; when this read strikes unmapped memory, the KDC process terminates rather than simply failing gracefully. No public exploit has been identified and no CISA KEV listing exists, but the disruption of a KDC in an Active Directory or Samba domain environment carries significant operational impact since authentication for the entire domain depends on KDC availability.
foreUP's customer REST API exposes cleartext payment-processor merchant credentials - such as API keys or secrets - directly in response bodies to any authenticated user. All foreUP versions are affected per the wildcard CPE (cpe:2.3:a:foreup:foreup:*). An attacker with any valid authenticated session can harvest these credentials and use them to interact directly with the downstream payment processor, creating potential for financial fraud or account takeover at the payment-processing layer. No public exploit has been identified and this vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog at time of analysis.
Credential exposure in CSL 1010 M2M 3G WiFi Module firmware through 2.2.1.4 stems from a trivially reversible single-byte XOR cipher with a hard-coded static key used to 'protect' the Router.cfg configuration backup file. An attacker with local access to the device can decrypt the backup and recover web administration passwords, telnet credentials, WPA/WPA2 pre-shared keys, PPPoE and 3G/APN credentials, and SIM identifiers (IMSI and IMEI) in plaintext. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, KEV listing is absent, and no fixed firmware version has been confirmed.
Unauthenticated exposure of Go pprof debug endpoints in Calico kube-controllers and Goldmane components allows any pod with adjacent network access to retrieve sensitive in-memory data when the shared debug server feature is enabled. Affected products span Calico, Calico Enterprise, and Calico Cloud across all versions per CPE. The vulnerability is opt-in (debug server disabled by default), but carries high confidentiality impact when enabled because heap dumps and goroutine stacks may contain credentials, tokens, or other sensitive runtime state. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV listing.
Insufficient audit logging in VMware ESX and related Broadcom virtualization platforms allows a malicious administrator to perform certain privileged operations without generating corresponding log entries. Affected products span the VMware ecosystem including Cloud Foundation, vSphere Foundation, ESX, and Telco Cloud Platform. No public exploit code exists and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, but the insider-threat and post-compromise forensic evasion implications are meaningful for organizations relying on audit logs for compliance and incident response.
DFIR-IRIS web application version 2.4.26 implements logout without server-side session invalidation, leaving session cookies valid indefinitely after a user believes they have signed out. Classified as CWE-613 (Insufficient Session Expiration), this flaw means any attacker who obtains a valid session cookie - through XSS, network interception, shoulder-surfing, or physical device access - retains unauthorized access to the IRIS incident response platform even after the legitimate user logs out. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Credential exposure in Phoenix Contact CHARX SEC EV charging controllers allows a low-privileged local attacker who can read log files to extract plaintext credentials for the built-in 'user-app' account and subsequently authenticate via SSH. Affected are all CHARX SEC-3000, 3050, 3100, and 3150 units running firmware versions 1.0.0 through 1.9.0. Successful exploitation can interrupt active EV charging sessions, constituting a high availability impact in operational charging infrastructure. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
Firmware update handling in Phoenix Contact CHARX SEC EV charging controllers (versions 1.0.0 through 1.8.x) exposes a race condition exploitable by unauthenticated remote attackers via the OCPP backend. By supplying an invalid firmware file, an attacker can cause the file to persist temporarily in accessible device storage during the flawed cleanup window before deletion, resulting in low-impact integrity interference with the firmware management process. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV entry have been identified; a vendor-released patch is confirmed at version 1.9.1.
Password reset token hijacking in Veeam Service Provider Console 9.2 and earlier enables unauthenticated remote attackers to take over any portal user account by manipulating the returnUrl parameter in the Forgot Password workflow. An attacker who knows a target's email address initiates a password reset on their behalf, supplying an attacker-controlled domain via the unvalidated returnUrl parameter; the platform then generates a reset email whose link routes through the attacker's infrastructure, transmitting the one-time reset code upon the victim clicking it. Account takeover is achieved without requiring any credentials or prior access to the platform. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and CISA KEV status is not confirmed; however, the technique is straightforward and the report originated from HackerOne, suggesting the attack vector is well-understood by researchers.
Unauthenticated deletion of all custom icon font packs is possible in Ultimate Addons for WPBakery Page Builder WordPress plugin before version 3.21.4. The plugin's icon font deletion endpoint performs no WordPress capability check and no nonce verification, meaning any unauthenticated HTTP request can permanently erase every custom-uploaded icon font pack on an affected site in a single request. A publicly available proof-of-concept exists and SSVC assesses the attack as automatable, though EPSS remains very low at 0.15% (5th percentile), indicating no significant observed exploitation at scale; the vulnerability is absent from CISA KEV.
Authenticated information disclosure in the LifterLMS WordPress plugin before 10.0.10 exposes internal post type titles - including coupon codes - to any subscriber-level user. The root cause is a missing capability check in a select2 query AJAX handler that only verifies login status, not whether the user holds an appropriate WordPress capability. A publicly available proof-of-concept exists (via WPScan), though EPSS sits at just 0.16% (5th percentile), indicating low broad exploitation likelihood; no active exploitation is confirmed by CISA KEV.
Unauthorized customer PII exposure in MotoPress Hotel Booking WordPress plugin before 6.0.4 allows any authenticated subscriber-level user to retrieve full personal details - name, email, phone number, and address - belonging to any customer booking in the system. The flaw stems from a missing capability check in an AJAX action handler, meaning the plugin never verifies whether the requesting user is authorized to view the target booking before returning its data. A publicly available exploit exists per WPScan, though EPSS at 0.16% (5th percentile) and absence from CISA KEV suggest exploitation remains opportunistic rather than widespread.
Easy Appointments WordPress plugin through version 3.12.26 exposes an appointment-listing REST endpoint to any authenticated user by gating it on a capability held by every WordPress user - including subscribers, the lowest authenticated role. Any user with a basic account can query this endpoint to enumerate all site bookings, extracting customer names, appointment schedules, and booking statuses belonging to other clients. A publicly available exploit is documented by WPScan; however, EPSS sits at 0.16% (5th percentile) and the vulnerability is not in CISA KEV, indicating limited observed mass exploitation at time of analysis.
Easy Appointments WordPress plugin through version 3.12.26 exposes all stored customer personal information to any authenticated contributor-level user due to missing per-request capability and nonce validation on a customer-listing handler. Any user holding a contributor role - a low-privilege WordPress role normally limited to drafting posts - can invoke the unprotected endpoint and enumerate the full customer dataset. A publicly available proof-of-concept exists per WPScan, though EPSS places exploitation probability at 0.16% (5th percentile) and the flaw has not been listed in CISA KEV, suggesting limited observed exploitation.
Spring Tools language server exposes proxy Basic-auth credentials in cleartext log files, affecting Spring Tools for Eclipse 5.2.0 and earlier and Spring Tools for VSCode/Cursor/Theia 2.2.0 and earlier. When no explicit http.proxy workspace setting is configured, the language server reads the HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY (and lowercase variants) environment variables and writes their raw values-including embedded credentials in the form http://user:pass@proxy:8080-to its log at INFO level without redaction. Because language server logs are often shared in bug reports or are readable by other local users and processes, this results in proxy credential disclosure. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and CISA KEV listing is absent.
Remote unauthenticated denial of service and memory disclosure in the Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) pmproxy service affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4. An out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) in the pmLogLoadInDom() function can be triggered by a specially crafted network request, causing the pmproxy process to crash and potentially leaking sensitive data from process memory. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
Price manipulation in the Persian Elementor WordPress plugin (all versions up to and including 2.8.1) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to submit arbitrary payment amounts to the ZarinPal payment gateway by tampering with the client-supplied 'amount' POST parameter, bypassing the price configured in the Elementor widget. The root cause is the absence of server-side reconciliation between the submitted payment figure and the widget's defined price - whatever the client sends is forwarded directly to ZarinPal. No public exploit code has been identified and the CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, though exploitation requires zero authentication and only trivial HTTP parameter manipulation.
Side-channel information leakage in Google Chrome's Media component (versions prior to 151.0.7922.72) enables a remote attacker to leak cross-origin data by directing a victim to a crafted HTML page, bypassing same-origin policy protections through measurable side effects of media processing.
