Overview

AI description

Automated description summarized from trusted sources.

CVE-2025-62168 is an information disclosure vulnerability affecting Squid, a widely used caching proxy. Specifically, versions of Squid prior to 7.2 fail to redact HTTP authentication credentials during error handling. This flaw can allow a script to bypass browser security protections and potentially learn the credentials a trusted client uses to authenticate. This vulnerability could allow a remote client to identify security tokens or credentials used internally by a web application that uses Squid for backend load balancing. Exploitation of this vulnerability does not require HTTP authentication to be configured. The vulnerability is fixed in version 7.2. A workaround is to disable debug information in administrator mailto links generated by Squid by configuring `squid.conf` with `email_err_data off`.

Description
Squid is a caching proxy for the Web. In Squid versions prior to 7.2, a failure to redact HTTP authentication credentials in error handling allows information disclosure. The vulnerability allows a script to bypass browser security protections and learn the credentials a trusted client uses to authenticate. This potentially allows a remote client to identify security tokens or credentials used internally by a web application using Squid for backend load balancing. These attacks do not require Squid to be configured with HTTP authentication. The vulnerability is fixed in version 7.2. As a workaround, disable debug information in administrator mailto links generated by Squid by configuring squid.conf with email_err_data off.
