Summary
A flaw was found in org.mongodb/mongodb-driver. During routine client initialization, sensitive configuration information, including credentials for outbound network connectivity, is written to application log output in cleartext.
A local attacker with the ability to read the affected application's logs or downstream log-aggregation storage could recover these credentials. This allows them to reuse the credentials to authenticate to the associated network infrastructure, leading to information disclosure.
This vulnerability has Moderate impact. A flaw in MongoDB driver components used by Red Hat products can lead to sensitive credential disclosure.
An attacker with local access to these logs could recover and reuse the credentials, compromising confidentiality. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 6.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N).
Weakness: CWE-312. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat build of Apache Camel 4 for Quarkus 3; Red Hat build of Debezium 3; Red Hat build of Quarkus.
Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE.

Mitigation checklist
- To mitigate this issue, ensure that access to application logs and any downstream log aggregation storage is strictly controlled. Implement robust access control mechanisms to prevent unauthorized parties from reading log output, as this is where sensitive credentials may be exposed in cleartext during MongoDB driver client initialization. Regularly review and audit log access permissions.
