Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Log Files
EUVDB-ID: #VU70079
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 4.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-31697
CWE-ID:
CWE-532 - Information Exposure Through Log Files
