## What is CVE-2014-0085?

CVE-2014-0085 is a low-severity vulnerability in n/a, published on 17 Apr 2014. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

JBoss Fuse did not enable encrypted passwords by default in its usage of Apache Zookeeper. This permitted sensitive information disclosure via logging to local users. Note: this description has been updated; previous text mistakenly identified the source of the flaw as Zookeeper. Previous text: Apache Zookeeper logs cleartext admin passwords, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading the log.

Weakness: CWE-255

Check this codebase for CVE-2014-0085 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2014-0085 is a low-severity vulnerability in n/a, published on 17 Apr 2014. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2014-0085 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected packages and fixed versions:
- org.jboss.fuse:jboss-fuse (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 6.1.0
- org.jboss.fuse:jboss-fuse (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 6.1.0

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
