CVE-2025-71423

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.

Summary		(es) Edgelesssys Contrast es un entorno de ejecución de computación confidencial para Kubernetes. En las versiones 1.9.0 anteriores a la 1.12.2, el inicializador registra la respuesta completa de NewMeshCert - que contiene el secreto de la carga de trabajo - en la salida estándar en el nivel INFO. Como resultado, los secretos de la carga de trabajo quedan expuestos a cualquier usuario de Kubernetes con permiso de 'get' o 'list' sobre 'pods/logs'. Dado que los secretos de la carga de trabajo se utilizan para el almacenamiento cifrado y la integración con Vault, estos también deben considerarse comprometidos. Esto es una regresión de GHSA-h5f8-crrq-4pw8.
