Vulnerability GHSA-c8m5-c952-6cm4
Summary
Rustls: Session Debug formatting exposes TLS master secrets and resumption PSKs
Details
Summary
Formatting a client session value with Debug exposes its TLS 1.2 master secret or TLS 1.3 resumption PSK. A custom session store that logs these values can disclose keys to readers of the logs. Ordinary connection and built-in cache diagnostics remain redacted, and the session-store interface already warns that its values are sensitive.
Details
Derived formatters traverse the session's secret-bearing fields. This conflicts with the project's explicit key-material redaction policy.
Proof of concept
Custom ClientSessionStore implementations could leak secret data by using the provided Tls12ClientSessionValue or Tls13ClientSessionValue in a way that triggers its implementation of the Debug trait.
Impact
Such store implementations could leak the master secret for the TLS connection.
