In versions 1.9.0 before 1.12.2, the initializer logs the full NewMeshCert response — which contains the workload secret — to standard output at INFO level. As a result, workload secrets are exposed to any Kubernetes user with get or list permission on pods/logs. Because workload secrets are used for encrypted storage and Vault integration, those must also be considered compromised. This is a regression of GHSA-h5f8-crrq-4pw8.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.\n\n## Package advisory (CVE-2025-71423)\n\nAffected packages:\n\n- `github.com/edgelesssys/contrast >= 1.9.0, < 1.12.2`\n\nPatched in:\n\n- `github.com/edgelesssys/contrast 1.12.2`\n\nSource: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-vxg3-w9rv-rhr2","depth":"twilight","depthScore":40,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":40.2,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
