Machine-written summary

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

The dependency-check-ant, dependency-check-cli and dependency-check-maven packages from OWASP DependencyCheck, versions 9.0.0 before 9.0.6, can write the NVD API Key to a log file when debug mode is used. An attacker who can read that log file can recover the key. Upgrade to version 9.0.6, or avoid debug mode until you can upgrade.
