CVE-2025-71423: Edgelesssys Contrast

High severity, CVSS 7.3. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Edgelesssys Contrast is a confidential-computing runtime for Kubernetes. In versions 1.9.0 before 1.12.2, the initializer logs the full NewMeshCert response — which contains the workload secret — to standard output at INFO level. As a result, workload secrets are exposed to any Kubernetes user with get or list permission on pods/logs. Because workload secrets are used for encrypted storage and Vault integration, those must also be considered compromised. This is a regression of GHSA-h5f8-crrq-4pw8.

Affected products

• Edgelesssys Contrast: from 1.9.0, before 1.12.2 (fixed in 1.12.2)
