Overview

org.sonarsource.sonarqube:sonar-plugin-api provides the capability to not only show health of an application but also to highlight issues newly introduced.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. An authenticated user could discover sensitive information such as valid user-account logins in the web application. The vulnerability occurs because of improperly configured access controls that cause the API to return the externalIdentity field to non-administrator users. The attacker could use this information in subsequent attacks against the system.
