CVE-2022-1766Network attack vector

Credential disclosure via SBOM credential embedding

Published Jul 20, 2022 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

Credential exposure in AnchoreCTL 0.1.4 allows attackers to obtain Anchore Enterprise API credentials from generated SBOMs. During SBOM generation, the client writes the API credentials used for Enterprise access into the resulting SBOM instead of excluding secrets. Exposure requires access to an affected client-produced SBOM, and disclosed credentials permit the API access granted to the embedded account.
