Hi, The following vulnerability was published for squid. CVE-2025-62168[0]: | 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. If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
