> Potentially unsafe logging of X500Principal in SSLConnectionSocketFactory
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HTTPCLIENT-2337
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-2337
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 4.5.14, 5.3.1, 5.4-beta1
> Reporter: Winfried Gerlach
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: image-2024-09-03-08-43-06-757.png
>
>
> We noticed that in both Apache HTTP Client 4.x and 5.x,
> {{SSLConnectionSocketFactory}} logs the X500Principal on DEBUG level without
> sanitizing the fields. If, e.g., the CN contains control characters like
> {{\b}} or {{\n}}, this could be used by an attacker to tamper with the log of
> the application (remove stuff, add line breaks etc.).
> !image-2024-09-03-08-43-06-757.png!
> In the screenshot, the CN has a \b after "Control", so the last letter "l" is
> removed from the log.
> We don't consider this behavior particularly dangerous because it happens on
> debug level only and the logger can also be turned off completely if needed.
> You may still want to think about sanitizing the RDN values before logging or
> somehow avoid ing to log the X500Principal completely.
