Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The Maven package org.apache.jackrabbit:oak-core, in the affected version ranges 1.12.0 to before 1.24.0 and 1.10.0 to before 1.10.8, does not remove a newly set password from the credentials object during the first phase of authentication when the optional initial password change or password expiration features are used. In combination with other independent authentication mechanisms, an attacker may be able to obtain the new password. Upgrade to version 1.24.0 or 1.10.8.
