Legacy azure_core writes the authorization header value to logs

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (azure_core 0.22.0, 0.2.0), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Applications built on the legacy Azure SDK for Rust (`azure_core` 0.21.0 and earlier) write the value of the outgoing `authorization` header to their logs whenever debug-level logging is enabled, and in every affected version also at trace level. The leaked values are live credentials — Microsoft Entra ID bearer tokens, Azure Storage SharedKey signatures, and SAS tokens — and anyone with read access to the logs can replay them until they expire (CWE-532). Versions 0.22.0 and later, which are the rewritten and currently supported SDK, do not contain the affected code.

Affected versions Every published legacy version except 0.2.0 writes the `authorization` header value to logs: 0.1.1 (2022-01-25), and 0.2.1 through 0.21.0 (2024-10-15).

Mitigation - Upgrade to `azure_core` 1.0.0 or newer. - If you are unable to upgrade, raise the log level above debug for the impacted crates or submit a feature request for missing crates built on `azure_core` 1.0.0 or newer. - Treat logs produced…

# Patch Next advisory brief: rustsec-2026-0275

Advisory: Legacy `azure_core` writes the `authorization` header value to logs
IDs: rustsec-2026-0275
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/rustsec-2026-0275 (revision 1, source checked 23 Oct 2026, 22:04 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 6.5)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: azure_core 0.22.0, 0.2.0. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- crates.io azure_core: affected >= 0.0.0-0, < 0.2.0; >= 0.2.1-0, < 0.22.0; fixed in 0.2.0, 0.22.0

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- crates.io azure_core: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on azure_core.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/RUSTSEC-2026-0275 (OSV record RUSTSEC-2026-0275 lists affected ranges: crates.io azure_core >=0.0.0-0 =0.2.1-0 <0.22.0 (fixed))
