Publication date: 2026-09-14

Last updated on: 2026-09-14

Assigner: Apache Software Foundation

Description
Insufficiently Protected Credentials vulnerability in Apache Syncope. Audit events, when sent to the configured store, are not sufficiently masked for the sensitive values they might carry on their payloads, thus allowing administrators to access such sensitive values. This issue affects Apache Syncope: from 3.0.0-M0 through 3.0.16, from 4.0.0-M0 Through 4.0.7, from 4.1.0-M0 through 4.1.2. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.0.8 / 4.1.3, which fix this issue.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability involves Apache Syncope not properly masking sensitive values in audit events when stored. Administrators could access these unmasked sensitive details, potentially exposing credentials or other confidential data.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability involves audit events storing sensitive values in plaintext. To detect it, check Apache Syncope logs for audit events containing unmasked credentials. Review configuration files for audit event storage settings. Look for exposed sensitive data in audit logs or databases.

Impact Analysis

If you use affected Apache Syncope versions, attackers with admin access could view sensitive credentials or data in audit logs. This may lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, or compliance violations depending on stored information.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could violate GDPR (data protection) and HIPAA (health data privacy) by exposing sensitive personal or health information in audit logs. Organizations may face fines or penalties for non-compliance if unmasked data is leaked.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Apache Syncope to version 4.0.8 or 4.1.3 or later to address the insufficiently protected credentials in audit events.
