CVE-2026-102289zizmorcore zizmor sensitive data in logs
CVE-2026-102289 is a sensitive data in logs in zizmorcore zizmor, rated high (7.0 on CVSS 4.0).
Why this priority: High severity, with no exploitation signal yet.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Received
What it is
Secrets or personal data are written to log files.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it by someone who can already run code or sign in on the machine, without an account, but someone has to act first, such as opening a file or following a link. Success also depends on conditions the attacker does not fully control.
What an attacker gains
A successful attack can read the data it protects. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker learn data or internals that help a follow-up attack. The damage can spread past the vulnerable component into others.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet.
What to do
- No fixed version is listed yet. Find every place zizmorcore zizmor runs, watch the references for a fix, and plan a replacement if it is no longer supported.
- Limit who can run code or sign in on the hosts that run it.
- Warn the people who use it, and filter files and links on the way in.
Description from NVD
zizmor is a static analysis tool for CI/CD systems. In version 1.27.0, debug logging serializes the parsed application configuration with a derived Debug implementation for GitHubToken, causing credentials supplied through GH_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, ZIZMOR_GITHUB_TOKEN, --gh-token, --github-token, or --zizmor-github-token to be written to stderr in cleartext. A single -v or --verbose option or an applicable RUST_LOG directive enables the affected logging during normal online operation and --no-online-audits, while explicit --offline clears the token first. If another party can read a CI log, support artifact, terminal capture, or public bug report containing the output, the party can use the credential according to its scopes, repository access, and lifetime. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.28.0.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Error responses, logs and debug endpoints. The flaw sits between internal data and whoever can read the response or log.
- APIs that over-share. The flaw sits between internal data and whoever can read the response or log.
Trust boundaries in play
- Host boundary. The attacker needs a foothold on the machine first; the flaw turns a small foothold into a bigger one.
- People who open files and links. Mail, chat and browsers are the delivery path.
- Isolation between components. The impact crosses out of the vulnerable component into others it should be isolated from.
- Between internal data and whoever can read the response or log. An attacker who crosses it can learn data or internals that help a follow-up attack.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does zizmorcore zizmor run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those hosts also run code or users you do not fully trust?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
