Good day,

I am researching an issue raised by sonatype (sonatype-2020-1349) -- that
org.apache.commons:commons-dbcp2 has "information exposure" vulnerability,
that all versions, including version 2.8.0, are vulnerable.

It appears that Gary's commit of Sep 21, 2020 (mask out name and password)
fixed the issue:
https://github.com/apache/commons-dbcp/blob/rel/commons-dbcp-2.8.0/RELEASE-NOTES.txt

Yet Sonatype is claiming that version 2.8.0 is vulnerable to information
disclosure.  Indeed, WhiteSource and Snyk.io are also reporting that
versions of Apache commons including 2.8.0 are vulnerable:

WhiteSource
Upgrade Version : No fix version available
CVSS 3.1
https://www.whitesourcesoftware.com/vulnerability-database/WS-2020-0287

Sonatype-2020-1349
CVSS Vector:CVSS:3.1  The Apache Commons DBCP packages are vulnerable to
Insufficiently Protected Credential
The application is vulnerable by using this component

Snyk.io
https://snyk.io/vuln/maven:org.apache.commons%3Acommons-dbcp2
All versions vulnerable to Information exposure including the latest
published 21 Sep, 2020  org.apache.commons:commons-dbcp2 2.8.0

Was Gary's commit never released?  Or did Gary's released commit fix the
issue and somehow Sonatype, Snyk.io, and WhiteSource are incorrectly
reporting commons-dbcp2 version 2.8.0 as vulnerable to Information Exposure?

Thanks for your prompt response.

Regards.
