Real-World Exposure

Description
A flaw was found in Quarkus. Quarkus OIDC can leak both ID and access tokens in the authorization code flow when an insecure HTTP protocol is used, which can allow attackers to access sensitive user data directly from the ID token or by using the access token to access user data from OIDC provider services. Please note that passwords are not stored in access tokens.

quarkusquarkusDetection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for io.quarkus:quarkus-oidc, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update io.quarkus:quarkus-oidc to 2.13.0.Final or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-6hc9-cf8x-hf83 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Assume what was exposed is already known: rotate any credential, token or key that the affected component could return, restrict the endpoint to callers that genuinely need it, and strip sensitive fields from responses and error output at the boundary rather than relying on the client not to read them.
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 Build of Quarkus flaw happens because the cookie contains a token that token could potentially be more useful to attackers than a normal session cookie hijacking attack. Other potentially higher security applications may accept the same token from the cookie, while with a normal session hijacking attack it is…
