A remote attacker could retrieve these secrets by accessing specific URLs if the application is exposed externally. The issue affects deployments using the default value of usePasswordFiles=true, which mounts secrets as files into the container filesystem.","published":"2025-07-24T07:15:53.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T09:22:39.000Z","status":"Deferred","sourceIdentifier":"security@vmware.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":10,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-552"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00817,"percentile":0.56852,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.82%).
