Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-20 18:43 – Updated: 2026-08-20 18:43Summary
io.netty.incubator:netty-incubator-codec-ohttp-hpke-classes-boringssl exposes raw HPKE private key bytes in string representations and error messages. BoringSSLAsymmetricCipherKeyPair.toString() includes the private-key parameter object, and BoringSSLAsymmetricKeyParameter.toString() renders the full byte array with Arrays.toString(bytes). Separately, failed native key initialization includes Arrays.toString(privateKeyBytes) in the thrown IllegalArgumentException message. Applications that log key-pair objects or exceptions can persist private key material in logs.
Details
codec-ohttp-hpke-classes-boringssl/src/main/java/io/netty/incubator/codec/hpke/boringssl/BoringSSLAsymmetricCipherKeyPair.java renders private key material through toString():
BoringSSLAsymmetricCipherKeyPair.toString()at lines 72-78 concatenates"privateKey=" + privateKey.privateKeyis aBoringSSLAsymmetricKeyParametercreated withisPrivate=trueat lines 26-36.
codec-ohttp-hpke-classes-boringssl/src/main/java/io/netty/incubator/codec/hpke/boringssl/BoringSSLAsymmetricKeyParameter.java then renders all bytes:
BoringSSLAsymmetricKeyParameter.toString()at lines 70-76 returns"bytes=" + Arrays.toString(bytes)regardless of whetherisPrivateis true.
A separate error path in codec-ohttp-hpke-classes-boringssl/src/main/java/io/netty/incubator/codec/hpke/boringssl/BoringSSL.java also exposes caller-provided private key bytes:
EVP_HPKE_KEY_init_or_throw(...)at lines 228-232 throwsIllegalArgumentException("privateKeyBytes does not contain a valid private key: " + Arrays.toString(privateKeyBytes))when BoringSSL rejects the key.
Because Java logging frameworks commonly call toString() for structured objects and commonly persist exception messages, these paths can place complete HPKE private key material in logs or telemetry.
Proof of concept
Safe local verification was performed without native BoringSSL by compiling the relevant Java classes and a no-op native stub for the unused finalizer reference. The observed output includes the full private key byte array:
BoringSSLAsymmetricCipherKeyPair{privateKey=BoringSSLAsymmetricKeyParameter{bytes=[1, 2, 3, 4], isPrivate=true}, publicKey=BoringSSLAsymmetricKeyParameter{bytes=[5, 6, 7, 8], isPrivate=false}}
Minimal reproducer concept in the same package:
package io.netty.incubator.codec.hpke.boringssl;
public final class VerifyPrivateKeyToString {
public static void main(String[] args) {
byte[] privateKey = new byte[] {1, 2, 3, 4};
byte[] publicKey = new byte[] {5, 6, 7, 8};
BoringSSLAsymmetricCipherKeyPair pair = new BoringSSLAsymmetricCipherKeyPair(privateKey, publicKey);
System.out.println(pair.toString());
}
}
The code path is deterministic: the production toString() methods concatenate the raw private-key byte array.
Impact
If an affected key pair or initialization exception is logged, application logs contain complete HPKE private key material. Anyone with access to those logs can recover the key. Depending on key reuse and log retention, this can compromise:
- confidentiality of OHTTP messages encrypted to the exposed key;
- integrity/authenticity expectations for future messages if the key remains active;
- incident response and key rotation assumptions, because logs may retain key material long after the in-memory key is rotated.
Suggested remediation
- Redact private key material in
BoringSSLAsymmetricKeyParameter.toString()whenisPrivateis true, for examplebytes=<redacted>or only key type/length. - Redact
privateKeyinBoringSSLAsymmetricCipherKeyPair.toString(). - Remove
Arrays.toString(privateKeyBytes)fromBoringSSL.EVP_HPKE_KEY_init_or_throw(...); report only length and KEM metadata. - Add regression tests asserting that
toString()and exception messages do not contain private key byte values. - Consider making key pair classes avoid implementing detailed
toString()for sensitive material entirely.

GHSA-2R5R-X58V-CX3W
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2021-05-25 20:05 – Updated: 2021-12-20 17:46A flaw was found in OpenShift Container Platform version 4.1 and later. Sensitive information was found to be logged by the image registry operator allowing an attacker able to gain access to those logs, to read and write to the storage backing the internal image registry. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data integrity.

Mitigation
Consider seriously the sensitivity of the information written into log files. Do not write secrets into the log files.
Mitigation
Remove debug log files before deploying the application into production.
Mitigation
Protect log files against unauthorized read/write.
Mitigation
Adjust configurations appropriately when software is transitioned from a debug state to production.
CAPEC-215: Fuzzing for application mapping
An attacker sends random, malformed, or otherwise unexpected messages to a target application and observes the application's log or error messages returned. The attacker does not initially know how a target will respond to individual messages but by attempting a large number of message variants they may find a variant that trigger's desired behavior. In this attack, the purpose of the fuzzing is to observe the application's log and error messages, although fuzzing a target can also sometimes cause the target to enter an unstable state, causing a crash.
