GitHub will automatically link CVE IDs to the [GitHub Advisory Database](https://github.com/advisories).*\r\n\r\n- There is no CVE for this.\r\n\r\n## Report\r\n\r\nLog Injection query is available in c# query, javascript (experimental) query but it is not available in java query.\r\nI created a query to detect a log injection vulnerability in java code.\r\n\r\nLink to the PR: PR github/codeql#3882\r\n\r\n- [X] Are you planning to discuss this vulnerability submission publicly? (Blog Post, social networks, etc). *We would love to have you spread the word about the good work you are doing*\r\n\r\n## Result(s)\r\n\r\nThe query was able to detect a potential Log Forging (now fixed) in the `generator-jhipster` project.\r\nThis is the PR fixing the potential Log Forging: [prevent potential log forging](https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/pull/11708), and here the fixed code [https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/pull/11708/files](https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/pull/11708/files).\r\n\r\nTo test the query, I used the vulnerable version of that file. I created a project using `jhipster` ([Creating an application](https://www.jhipster.tech/creating-an-app/)), and then I run the query on the project already created; the query was able to detect the vulnerability mentioned in the PR (once I created the project, before generating the database, I replaced the fixed code, with its previous version).\r\n\r\nThere is also a CVE (another project): [CVE-2020-4072: Log Forging in generator-jhipster-kotlin](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-pfxf-wh96-fvjc), that mentions the equivalent `java` file of the `generator-jhipter` project: [commit: prevent log forging when doing password reset init request](https://github.com/jhipster/jhipster-kotlin/commit/426ccab85e7e0da562643200637b99b6a2a99449).","author":{"url":"https://github.com/dellalibera","@type":"Person","name":"dellalibera"},"datePublished":"2020-07-02T22:48:31.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":5},"url":"https://github.com/144/securitylab/issues/144"}
