CVE-2026-61798
Published:August 20, 2026
Updated:September 10, 2026
"io.netty.incubator:netty-incubator-codec-ohttp-hpke-classes-boringssl" exposes raw HPKE private key bytes in string representations and error messages. "BoringSSLAsymmetricCipherKeyPair.toString()" includes the private-key parameter object, and "BoringSSLAsymmetricKeyParameter.toString()" renders the full byte array with "Arrays.toString(bytes)". Separately, failed native key initialization includes "Arrays.toString(privateKeyBytes)" in the thrown "IllegalArgumentException" message. Applications that log key-pair objects or exceptions can persist private key material in logs.
