CVE-2025-71423

Edgelesssys Contrast before 1.12.2 Workload Secrets Information Disclosure

Published Sep 27, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 8.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Edgelesssys Contrast is a confidential-computing runtime for Kubernetes. 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.
