CVE-2024-23840Public exploit

Secret disclosure via debug environment logging

Published Jan 30, 2024 · Updated May 29, 2025

Sensitive information exposure in GoReleaser 1.23.0 allows local users to read secrets from debug logs during custom publishing. The custom-publisher command path adds its entire environment array, including template-expanded secret values, to a debug log field. Exposure requires a release run with debug logging and configured publisher secrets, and can disclose those values and the GitHub token.
