What is CVE-2023-6393?
CVE-2023-6393 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Red Hat build of Quarkus, published on 6 Dec 2023. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
A flaw was found in the Quarkus Cache Runtime. When request processing utilizes a Uni cached using @CacheResult and the cached Uni reuses the initial "completion" context, the processing switches to the cached Uni instead of the request context. This is a problem if the cached Uni context contains sensitive information, and could allow a malicious user to benefit from a POST request returning the response that is meant for another user, gaining access to sensitive data.
Weakness: CWE-200
