CVE-2026-22098
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 · uneditedVarious sensitive information such as passwords and charging card UIDs are written to log files.
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 · high confidenceSensitive authentication and payment data (passwords, charging card UIDs) are being written to application log files, exposing this information to anyone with log access. This creates a critical information disclosure vulnerability where compromised logs or unauthorized access could expose user credentials and financial identifiers.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify application log file locationsLocate all log directories and files used by the application (e.g., /var/log/, application logs directory, or configured log paths). Check configuration files for log path settings.Affected if Log files exist and contain application runtime data
-
Search logs for password patternsUse grep, grep -i, or similar tools to search log files for strings like 'password', 'passwd', 'pwd', or credential values that appear in authentication flows. Example: grep -ri 'password' /var/log/[application]/Affected if Plaintext or weakly obfuscated password strings are found in any log file
-
Search logs for payment card identifiersSearch log files for charging card UIDs, payment tokens, or card-related identifiers. Look for patterns like 'uid', 'card', 'payment', or specific payment-related field names used by the application.Affected if Charging card UIDs or payment identifiers appear in any log file
-
Review logging configuration for sensitive data handlingExamine application logging configuration (e.g., logback.xml, log4j.properties, logging.yaml, or custom logging code) to determine if input sanitization or field filtering is implemented for auth/payment data.Affected if No filtering or sanitization rules exist for sensitive fields in the logging configuration
-
Audit log access controlsVerify who has read access to log files and whether logs are stored in secure locations with appropriate file permissions.Affected if Log files are readable by unauthorized users or stored in publicly accessible locations
If authentication credentials or payment card UIDs are found in any application log files, or if logging configuration lacks sanitization for sensitive fields, the environment is affected by this CVE.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement input sanitization and logging filters to prevent sensitive fields from being written to logs; immediately rotate any exposed credentials and review existing logs for exposure.
