CVE-2025-62232: Apache APISIX: APISIX basic-auth logs plaintext credentials at info level


From: Ashish Tiwari <ashishtiwari () apache org>
Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2025 15:13:16 +0000

Severity: moderate 

Affected versions:

- Apache APISIX 1.0

Description:

Sensitive data exposure via logging in basic-auth leads to plaintext usernames and passwords written to error logs and 
forwarded to log sinks when log level is INFO/DEBUG. This creates a high risk of credential compromise through log 
access.
It has been fixed in the following commit:  https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12629 
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.14, which fixes this issue.
