CVE-2022-31162 is a high-severity (CVSS 7.5) Information Exposure vulnerability in slack-morphism. A fix is available for slack-morphism — see the affected versions and patch details below.
Slack Morphism for Rust before 0.41.0 can accidentally leak Slack OAuth client information in application debug logs
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
How urgent is this, really
CVE-2022-31162 plotted by exploitation likelihood (EPSS) against impact (CVSS). The shaded corner — EPSS 50%+ and CVSS 7.0+ — is where this CVE doesn't sit, though severity or exploitability alone can still warrant action.
Where this sits among everything scored
Of 377,636 CVEs with a current EPSS score, this one falls in the < 10% band (highlighted). Real counts from FIRST.org, not a sample — log-scaled since the landscape is heavily right-skewed.
Real-World Exposure
slack-morphismReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects crates.io packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Impact
Potential/accidental leaking of Slack OAuth client information in application debug logs.
Patches
More strict and secure debug formatting was introduced in v0.41 for OAuth secret types to avoid the possibility of printing sensitive information in application logs.
Workarounds
Don't print/output in logs request and responses for OAuth and client configurations.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for slack-morphism, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update slack-morphism to 0.41.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2022-31162 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2022-31162 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to CVE-2022-31162. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2022-31162 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds CVE-2022-31162 across crates.io dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
