Access-key disclosure via unmasked output
Published Aug 13, 2025 · Updated Aug 13, 2025
Sensitive information disclosure in Palo Alto Networks Checkov 3.2.0 through 3.2.448 allows attackers to read Prisma Cloud access keys from output files. Checkov places access keys in generated output without masking their cleartext values; Palo Alto Networks has not published the responsible code locus. Exposure requires a user to generate output and either upload it to an insecure location or permit local access to the file, and the reported impact is disclosure of the access key.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
