CVE-2026-64943: Apache Answer: API keys logged in plaintext during authentication
Apache Answer through 2.0.2 logs full API keys in plaintext; 2.0.3 stops the leak.
API keys written to logs in Apache Answer through 2.0.2
Apache Answer writes full API keys to application logs on every authenticated request, through version 2.0.2. Anyone who can read those logs can recover active bearer credentials and replay them. That yields the confidentiality and integrity of the authenticated session. Deployments of Apache Answer at or below 2.0.2 are affected.
What to do: Upgrade Apache Answer to 2.0.3, which stops writing full API keys to logs.
| Product | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|
| Apache Answer | through 2.0.2 | 2.0.3 |
