High [CVE-2024-2700] leak of local configuration properties into quarkus applications

A vulnerability was found in the quarkus-core component. Quarkus captures local environment variables from the Quarkus namespace during the application's build, therefore, running the resulting application inherits the values captured at build time.

Some local environment variables may have been set by the developer or CI environment for testing purposes, such as dropping the database during application startup or trusting all TLS certificates to accept self-signed certificates.

If these properties are configured using environment variables or the.env facility, they are captured into the built application, which can lead to dangerous behavior if the application does not override these values. This behavior only happens for configuration properties from the `quarkus.*` namespace.

Red Hat rates this as a Moderate impact vulnerability since this requires an attacker to have direct access to the environment variables to override, and the application must use that environment variable to be jeopardized. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Weakness: CWE-526.

Affected products named by the advisory: HawtIO 4.0.0 for Red Hat build of Apache Camel 4; Red Hat AMQ Streams 2.7.0; Red Hat build of Apicurio Registry 2.6.1 GA; Red Hat build of Quarkus 3.2.12.Final; and 8 more.
