Overview
CVE-2023-33264 affects Hazelcast versions through 5.0.4, 5.1 through 5.1.6, and 5.2 through 5.2.3. The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed in May 2023, where configuration routines failed to properly mask passwords in the member configuration (NVD).
Technical details
The vulnerability is classified as an Insufficiently Protected Credentials issue (CWE-522) with a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 4.3 (MEDIUM). The attack vector is network-based (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring low privileges (PR:L) and no user interaction (UI:N). The scope is unchanged (S:U) with low confidentiality impact (C:L) and no impact on integrity (I:N) or availability (A:N) (NVD).
Impact
This vulnerability allows Hazelcast Management Center users to view some of the secrets in the member configuration, potentially exposing sensitive credential information (NVD).
Mitigation and workarounds
A fix has been implemented through a pull request that extends the set of masked fields in ConfigXmlGenerator. Users should upgrade to versions newer than 5.0.4, 5.1.6, or 5.2.3 depending on their current version branch (GitHub PR).
