CVE-2025-32111Network attack vector

Repository credential exposure via Docker build context

Published Apr 4, 2025 · Updated Apr 4, 2025

Credential exposure in acme.sh Docker images before 40b6db6 allows remote attackers to read and misuse a persisted repository token. The Docker Hub workflow lets actions/checkout write its authentication token into local Git configuration, and the Dockerfile copies the entire checkout into the image build. Exploitation requires access to an affected image or layer while the token is valid, enabling repository data access or modification rather than service interruption.
