{"id":"GHSA-vxg3-w9rv-rhr2","summary":"Contrast leaks workload secrets to logs on INFO level","details":"This is the same vulnerability as https://github.com/edgelesssys/contrast/security/advisories/GHSA-h5f8-crrq-4pw8. The original vulnerability had been fixed for release `v1.8.1`, but the fix was not ported to the main branch and thus not present in releases `v1.9.0` ff.\n\nBelow is a brief repetition of the relevant sections from the first GHSA, where you can find the full details.\n\n### Impact\n\n* [Workload secrets](https://docs.edgeless.systems/contrast/1.11/architecture/secrets#workload-secrets) are visible to Kubernetes users with `get` or `list` permission on `pods/logs`, and thus need to be considered compromised.\n* Since workload secrets are used for [encrypted storage](https://docs.edgeless.systems/contrast/1.11/howto/encrypted-storage) and [Vault integration](https://docs.edgeless.systems/contrast/1.11/howto/vault), those need to be considered compromised, too.\n\n### Patches\n\nPatches:\n\n* https://github.com/edgelesssys/contrast/commit/5a5512c4af63c17bb66331e7bd2768a863b2f225\n* https://github.com/edgelesssys/contrast/commit/cf58026b30c43fe7df91eac5322da02e1725d554\n\nThe patches are released with `v1.12.2` and `v1.13.0` (not yet published). Since the secrets are compromised, Contrast needs to be initialized from scratch.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nExisting workload secrets are compromised. The Contrast cluster needs to be newly initialized, and logging needs to be turned off. \n\n### References\n\nFirst occurrence:\n* https://github.com/edgelesssys/contrast/security/advisories/GHSA-h5f8-crrq-4pw8\n\nWe are defining a process for handling GHSAs that should prevent such regressions in the future:\n* https://github.com/edgelesssys/contrast/pull/1739","aliases":["CVE-2025-71423","GO-2025-3920"],"modified":"2026-09-27T11:55:47.535209031Z","published":"2025-08-28T16:46:40Z","database_specific":{"severity":"HIGH","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2025-08-28T16:46:40Z","nvd_published_at":null,"cwe_ids":["CWE-532"]},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/edgelesssys/contrast/security/advisories/GHSA-h5f8-crrq-4pw8"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/edgelesssys/contrast/security/advisories/GHSA-vxg3-w9rv-rhr2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/edgelesssys/contrast/pull/1739"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/edgelesssys/contrast/commit/5a5512c4af63c17bb66331e7bd2768a863b2f225"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/edgelesssys/contrast/commit/cf58026b30c43fe7df91eac5322da02e1725d554"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/edgelesssys/contrast"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"github.com/edgelesssys/contrast","ecosystem":"Go","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/edgelesssys/contrast"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"1.9.0"},{"fixed":"1.12.2"}]}],"database_specific":{"last_known_affected_version_range":"\u003c= 1.12.1","source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2025/08/GHSA-vxg3-w9rv-rhr2/GHSA-vxg3-w9rv-rhr2.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N"}]}
