Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Sensitive data exposure via logging in basic-auth leads to plaintext usernames and passwords written to error logs and forwarded to log sinks when log level is INFO/DEBUG. This creates a high risk of credential compromise through log access. It has been fixed in the following commit:  https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12629 Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.14, which fixes this issue.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis
How this class of weakness works · CWE-532

Sensitive values — secrets, tokens, session identifiers, personal data — are written into log files, so anyone with access to the logs, which is often a broad group, obtains them. It turns a routine diagnostic into a credential leak. The fix is redacting sensitive data before it is logged and tightly restricting who can read the logs.

Recommended fix High confidence

3.14.0

  1. 1. Backup your current Apache APISIX configuration, including config.yaml and any custom plugins or Lua scripts
  2. 2. Stop the APISIX service gracefully to avoid interrupting active requests
  3. 3. Update your package repository and upgrade Apache APISIX to version 3.14.0 or later using your system's package manager (e.g., yum update apisix or apt-get install apisix)
  4. 4. Alternatively, if using Docker, pull and deploy the image tag apisix:3.14.0 or newer
  5. 5. After upgrade, verify that the /usr/local/apisix/conf/config.yaml (or your custom config path) is compatible with version 3.14.0
  6. 6. Start the APISIX service and confirm it initializes without errors
  7. 7. Test basic-auth functionality to ensure authentication works correctly post-upgrade
  8. 8. Review logs at INFO/DEBUG level to confirm credentials are no longer being written in plaintext
