CVE-2024-20440
A vulnerability in Cisco Smart Licensing Utility could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to access sensitive information. This vulnerability is due to excessive verbosity in a debug log file. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to obtain log files that contain sensitive data, including credentials that can be used to access the API.

Fujitsu / Fsas Technologies ETERNUS SF ACM/SC/Express (DX / AF Management Software) before 16.8-16.9.1 PA 2025-12, when collected maintenance data is accessible by a principal/authority other than ETERNUS SF Admin, allows an attacker to potentially affect system confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Insertion of sensitive information into log file in Windows NTFS allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose information with a physical attack.
Atlantis is a self-hosted golang application that listens for Terraform pull request events via webhooks. Atlantis logs contains GitHub credentials (tokens `ghs_...`) when they are rotated. This enables an attacker able to read these logs to impersonate Atlantis application and to perform actions on GitHub. When Atlantis is used to administer a GitHub organization, this enables getting administration privileges on the organization. This was reported in #4060 and fixed in #4667 . The fix was included in Atlantis v0.30.0. All users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
Possible Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File Vulnerability in eDirectory has been discovered in OpenText™ eDirectory 9.2.4.0000.
Insertion of sensitive information in the centralized (Grafana) logging system in ProLion CryptoSpike 3.0.15P2 allows remote attackers to impersonate other users in web management and the REST API by reading JWT tokens from logs (as a Granafa authenticated user) or from the Loki REST API without authentication.

An Improper Input Validation in Ivanti EPMM before versions 12.6.1.1, 12.7.0.1, and 12.8.0.1 allows a remotely authenticated user with administrative access to achieve remote code execution.
OpenClaw before 2026.4.22 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the Zalo plugin's sendPhoto function that fails to validate outbound photo URLs through the SSRF guard. Attackers can bypass SSRF protection by providing malicious photo URLs to the Zalo Bot API, enabling unauthorized access to internal resources.
OpenClaw before 2026.4.22 contains an exec allowlist analysis vulnerability allowing shell expansion hiding in unquoted heredoc bodies. Attackers can bypass allowlist validation by embedding shell expansion tokens in heredoc bodies to execute unapproved commands at runtime.
