      "value": "Squid is a caching proxy for the Web. In Squid versions prior to 7.2, a failure to redact HTTP authentication credentials in error handling allows information disclosure. The vulnerability allows a script to bypass browser security protections and learn the credentials a trusted client uses to authenticate. This potentially allows a remote client to identify security tokens or credentials used internally by a web application using Squid for backend load balancing. These attacks do not require Squid to be configured with HTTP authentication. The vulnerability is fixed in version 7.2. As a workaround, disable debug information in administrator mailto links generated by Squid by configuring squid.conf with email_err_data off."

      "value": "Squid es un proxy de almacenamiento en caché para la Web. En versiones de Squid anteriores a la 7.2, un fallo al redactar las credenciales de autenticación HTTP en el manejo de errores permite la revelación de información. La vulnerabilidad permite que un script omita las protecciones de seguridad del navegador y aprenda las credenciales que un cliente de confianza utiliza para autenticarse. Esto potencialmente permite a un cliente remoto identificar tokens de seguridad o credenciales utilizados internamente por una aplicación web que utiliza Squid para el equilibrio de carga de backend. Estos ataques no requieren que Squid esté configurado con autenticación HTTP. La vulnerabilidad está corregida en la versión 7.2. Como solución alternativa, deshabilite la información de depuración en los enlaces mailto del administrador generados por Squid configurando squid.conf con email_err_data off."
