Real-World Exposure
org.infinispan:infinispan-cli-clientReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
A flaw was found in Infinispan CLI. A sensitive password, decoded from a Base64-encoded Kubernetes secret, is processed in plaintext and included in a command string that may expose the data in an error message when a command is not found.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.infinispan:infinispan-cli-client, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
The records we use list no patched version of org.infinispan:infinispan-cli-client for CVE-2025-5731. Check the maintainer's advisory, and where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range.
Mitigate without a patch
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.
Fixing This On Your OS
If you run this on a Linux distribution, patch through your package manager against the distro's own security advisory below — it tracks the exact backported fix for your release, which can ship on a different timeline (and sometimes a different severity) than the upstream project.
Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform are not affected by this vulnerability. This flaw is rated as a Moderate vulnerability rather than an Important one because it requires specific conditions to be met for sensitive data exposure to occur. The password is only revealed if a user executes an invalid CLI…
