Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
SonarQube (package sonar-web) before 9.9.4, and SonarQube releases before 10.4, can write values encrypted with the Settings Encryption feature in cleartext within URL parameters in logs, such as access logs and proxy logs. Anyone who can read those logs could obtain the exposed values. Upgrade to 9.9.4 or later on the 9.9 line, or to 10.4 or later.
