A password disclosure flaw was found in Syft versions v0.69.0 and v0.69.1. This flaw leaks the password stored in the SYFT_ATTEST_PASSWORD environment variable. The `SYFT_ATTEST_PASSWORD` environment variable is for the `syft attest` command to generate attested SBOMs for the given container image. This environment variable is used to decrypt the private key (provided with `syft attest --key <path-to-key-file>`)  during the signing process while generating an SBOM attestation. This vulnerability affects users running syft that have the `SYFT_ATTEST_PASSWORD` environment variable set with credentials (regardless of if the attest command is being used or not). Users that do not have the environment variable `SYFT_ATTEST_PASSWORD` set are not affected by this issue. The credentials are leaked in two ways: in the syft logs when `-vv` or `-vvv` are used in the syft command (which is any log level >= `DEBUG`) and in the attestation or SBOM only when the `syft-json` format is used. Note that as of v0.69.0 any generated attestations by the `syft attest` command are uploaded to the OCI registry (if you have write access to that registry) in the same way `cosign attach` is done. This means that any attestations generated for the affected versions of syft when the `SYFT_ATTEST_PASSWORD` environment variable was set would leak credentials in the attestation payload uploaded to the OCI registry. This issue has been patched in commit `9995950c70` and has been released as v0.70.0. There are no workarounds for this vulnerability. Users are advised to upgrade.","published_at":"2023-02-07T00:07:38.460000Z","last_modified_at":null,"cvss_v3_score":6.5,"cvss_v3_vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","cvss_v3_severity":"MEDIUM","cvss_v4_score":null,"cvss_v4_vector":null,"cvss_v4_severity":null,"ssvc_decision":null,"ssvc_exploitation":"poc","ssvc_automatable":false,"ssvc_technical_impact":"partial","cwes":["CWE-200","CWE-532"],"nvd_references":["https://github.com/anchore/syft/security/advisories/GHSA-jp7v-3587-2956","https://github.com/anchore/syft/commit/9995950c70e849f9921919faffbfcf46401f71f3"],"vuln_status":null,"trending_score":null,"is_trending":false,"has_trended":false,"trended_number_one":false,"trending_peak_score":null,"trending_peak_rank":null,"started_trending_at":null,"trended_number_one_at":null,"summary_generated":null,"summary_generated_at":null,"summary_model":null,"created_at":"2026-06-24T00:09:39.878444Z","updated_at":"2026-06-29T01:26:58.091002Z"},"effective_severity":"MEDIUM","badges":[],"impact_analysis":[],"cvss_v3_decoded":{"version":"3.1","metrics":[{"metric":"AV","name":"Attack Vector","value":"N","value_label":"Network"},{"metric":"AC","name":"Attack Complexity","value":"L","value_label":"Low"},{"metric":"PR","name":"Privileges Required","value":"N","value_label":"None"},{"metric":"UI","name":"User Interaction","value":"R","value_label":"Required"},{"metric":"S","name":"Scope","value":"U","value_label":"Unchanged"},{"metric":"C","name":"Confidentiality","value":"H","value_label":"High"},{"metric":"I","name":"Integrity","value":"N","value_label":"None"},{"metric":"A","name":"Availability","value":"N","value_label":"None"}]},"cvss_v4_decoded":{"version":null,"metrics":[]},"affected":[{"vendor_slug":"anchore","vendor_name":"anchore","product_slug":"syft","product_name":"syft","version_start":">= 0.69.0, < 0.70.0","version_start_inclusive":true,"version_end":">= 0.69.0, < 0.70.0","version_end_inclusive":true,"cpe23_uri":"cve5:anchore:syft:>= 0.69.0, < 0.70.0:>= 0.69.0, < 0.70.0"}],"exploit_refs":[],"news":[],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/anchore/syft/security/advisories/GHSA-jp7v-3587-2956","source_type":"VENDOR_ADVISORY","tags":["advisory"]},{"url":"https://github.com/anchore/syft/commit/9995950c70e849f9921919faffbfcf46401f71f3","source_type":"PATCH","tags":["patch"]}],"timeline":[{"type":"published","at":"2023-02-07T00:07:38.460000Z","label":"CVE published","source":null},{"type":"cvss_changed","at":"2026-06-28T17:27:07.118971Z","label":"CVSS score revised","source":"cvelistv5"},{"type":"cvss_changed","at":"2026-06-28T17:27:07.118971Z","label":"CVSS score revised","source":"cvelistv5"},{"type":"cvss_changed","at":"2026-06-28T17:27:07.118971Z","label":"CVSS score revised","source":"cvelistv5"},{"type":"ssvc_changed","at":"2026-06-29T01:26:58.091002Z","label":"SSVC decision revised","source":"vulnrichment"},{"type":"ssvc_changed","at":"2026-06-29T01:26:58.091002Z","label":"SSVC decision revised","source":"vulnrichment"},{"type":"ssvc_changed","at":"2026-06-29T01:26:58.091002Z","label":"SSVC decision revised","source":"vulnrichment"}]}
