CVE-2026-1622  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-532  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade org.neo4j:neo4j-configuration to version 5.26.21, 2026.01.3 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File via the obfuscate_literals option in query logging. An attacker can access sensitive information by reading unredacted error data in the query logs when queries fail.

Notes:

This is only exploitable if the attacker has legitimate access to the local log files and can execute queries that trigger errors.

If your configuration had db.logs.query.obfuscate_literals enabled, and you wish the obfuscation to cover the error messages as well, you need to enable the new configuration setting db.logs.query.obfuscate_errors once you have upgraded Neo4j.
