Authenticated secret disclosure through API responses
Published Jul 9, 2026 · Updated Jul 9, 2026
Sensitive-data exposure in HCL DevOps Deploy allows remote authenticated users to read configurations and secrets through API responses. HCL has not published the affected endpoint or the server-side operation that places protected configuration values in its response. Low-privileged network access to the server is required; exposure is limited to confidentiality, but disclosed secrets can enable further attacks.
