Synopsis
The remote MiracleLinux host is missing a security update.Description
The remote MiracleLinux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2025-11536:06 advisory.* CVE-2025-62168: fix failure to redact HTTP authentication credentials in error handling to prevent information disclosure
* email_err_data directive now defaults to 'off' for security (previously 'on') CVE(s):
CVE-2025-62168 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.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Update the affected squid and / or squid-migration-script packages.See Also
