Background
JBoss Fuse is an open-source integration platform based on Apache Camel and Apache Karaf. It provides a lightweight, flexible, and modular framework for building enterprise integration solutions. JBoss Fuse utilizes Apache Zookeeper for distributed coordination and configuration management. However, prior to version 6.1.0, JBoss Fuse did not enable encrypted passwords by default in its usage of Apache Zookeeper, which resulted in a vulnerability that allowed sensitive information to be disclosed to unauthorized actors via logging to local users.
Vulnerability Detail
The vulnerability in JBoss Fuse arises from the lack of encrypted passwords in its usage of Apache Zookeeper. This allows local users to obtain sensitive information, such as admin passwords, by reading the log files. The disclosure of such information can lead to unauthorized access and potential compromise of the system. It is important to note that the flaw lies in JBoss Fuse's configuration and not in Apache Zookeeper itself.
