CVE-2025-65965

Registry credential disclosure via unsanitized JSON output

Published Nov 25, 2025 · Updated Nov 25, 2025

Credential disclosure in Anchore Grype 0.68.0 through 0.104.0 allows local users to read registry secrets from JSON scan files. The report document incorporates registry authentication options, and file-output serialization writes the auth array without clearing or redacting its username, password, and token fields. Exposure requires configured registry authentication plus JSON file output or a template referencing Descriptor.Registry.Auth, making every configured secret readable from the resulting file.
