In sealed-env enterprise mode, versions 0.1.0-alpha.1 through 0.1.0-alpha.3 embedded the operator's literal TOTP secret in the JWS payload of every minted unseal token. JWS payload is base64-encoded JSON, NOT encrypted. Any party who could observe a minted token (CI build logs, container env dumps, kubectl describe pod, Sentry/Rollbar stack traces, log aggregators) could decode the payload and extract the TOTP secret in plaintext. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.1.0-alpha.4.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","score":9.1},"cwes":["CWE-200","CWE-522"],"references":["https://github.com/davidalmeidac/sealed-env/security/advisories/GHSA-x3r2-fj3r-g5mv"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-26T18:27:13.530666824+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-45091","score":0.00326,"percentile":0.25495,"date":"2026-10-26"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-x3r2-fj3r-g5mv","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-x3r2-fj3r-g5mv","summary":"sealed-env: TOTP secret embedded in unseal token payload (enterprise mode)","modified":"2026-05-13T16:39:07.230156Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"sealed-env","purl":"pkg:npm/sealed-env","ranges":["<0.1.0-alpha.4"],"fixed":["0.1.0-alpha.4"]},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"io.github.davidalmeidac:sealed-env-core","purl":"pkg:maven/io.github.davidalmeidac/sealed-env-core","ranges":["<0.1.0-alpha.4"],"fixed":["0.1.0-alpha.4"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
