5.5 CVE-2025-2598
When the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) Command Line Interface (AWS CDK CLI) is used with a credential plugin which returns an expiration property with the retrieved AWS credentials, the credentials are printed to the console output. To mitigate this issue, users should upgrade to version 2.178.2 or later and ensure any forked or derivative code is patched to incorporate the new fixes.

CWE-497 : Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere
The product does not properly prevent sensitive system-level information from being accessed by unauthorized actors who do not have the same level of access to the underlying system as the product does. Automated static analysis, commonly referred to as Static Application Security Testing (SAST), can find some instances of this weakness by analyzing source code (or binary/compiled code) without having to execute it. Typically, this is done by building a model of data flow and control flow, then searching for potentially-vulnerable patterns that connect "sources" (origins of input) with "sinks" (destinations where the data interacts with external components, a lower layer such as the OS, etc.) Production applications should never use methods that generate internal details such as stack traces and error messages unless that information is directly committed to a log that is not viewable by the end user. All error message text should be HTML entity encoded before being written to the log file to protect against potential cross-site scripting attacks against the viewer of the logs Code analysis product passes access tokens as a command-line parameter or through an environment variable, making them visible to other processes via the ps command.

Web Application Fingerprinting
An attacker sends a series of probes to a web application in order to elicit version-dependent and type-dependent behavior that assists in identifying the target. An attacker could learn information such as software versions, error pages, and response headers, variations in implementations of the HTTP protocol, directory structures, and other similar information about the targeted service. This information can then be used by an attacker to formulate a targeted attack plan. While web application fingerprinting is not intended to be damaging (although certain activities, such as network scans, can sometimes cause disruptions to vulnerable applications inadvertently) it may often pave the way for more damaging attacks. [Request fingerprinting] Use automated tools or send web server specific commands to web server and wait for server's response. [Increase the accuracy of server fingerprinting of Web servers] Attacker usually needs to send several different commands to accurately identify the web server. Attacker can also use automated tools to send requests to the server. The responses of the server may be different in terms of protocol behavior. [Identify Web Application Software] After the web server platform software has been identified, the attacker start to identify web application technologies such as ASP, .NET, PHP and Java on the server. [Identify Backend Database Version] Determining the database engine type can assist attackers' attempt to successfully execute SQL injection. Some database API such as ODBC will show a database type as part of the driver information when reporting an error. |

System Location Discovery
[System Locale Information Discovery] The adversary examines system information from various sources such as registry and native API functions and correlates the gathered information to infer the geographical location of the target system |
