Summary
nvdApiKey is logged in debug mode
Details

Summary

The value of nvdApiKey configuration parameter is logged in clear text in debug mode.

Details

The NVD API key is a kind of secret and should be treated like other secrets when logging in debug mode. Expecting the same behavior as for several password configurations: just print ******

Note that while the NVD API Key is an access token for the NVD API - they are not that sensitive. The only thing an NVD API Token grants is a higher rate limit when making calls to publicly available data. The data available from the NVD API is the same whether you have an API Key or not.

PoC

The nvdApiKey is configured to use an environment variable; when running mvn -X dependency-check:check the clear value is logged twice.

Impact

The NVD API key is a kind of secret and should not be exposed. If stolen, an attacker can use this key to obtain already public information.
