Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Laf is a cloud development platform. Prior to version 1.0.0-beta.13, the control of LAF app enV is not strict enough, and in certain scenarios of privatization environment, it may lead to sensitive information leakage in secret and configmap. In ES6 syntax, if an obj directly references another obj, the name of the obj itself will be used as the key, and the entire object structure will be integrated intact. When constructing the deployment instance of the app, env was found from the database and directly inserted into the template, resulting in controllability here. Sensitive information in the secret and configmap can be read through the k8s envFrom field. In a privatization environment, when `namespaceConf. fixed` is marked, it may lead to the leakage of sensitive information in the system. As of time of publication, it is unclear whether any patches or workarounds exist.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

How this class of weakness works · CWE-200

The application discloses data — error detail, internal paths, tokens, or other users' records — to someone who shouldn't see it. On its own it can look minor, but it hands attackers the map they need for a larger attack. Remediation is about minimising what's returned and enforcing authorization on every piece of data.

Recommended fix High confidence

1.0.0-beta.13 or later

  1. 1. Backup your current Laf deployment and database
  2. 2. Check your current Laf version by running: laf-cli version or checking the Helm chart/app version
  3. 3. Upgrade to version 1.0.0-beta.13 or later by updating your deployment configuration
  4. 4. If using Helm: helm upgrade <release-name> <chart-repo>/laf --version 1.0.0-beta.13 or later
  5. 5. If using docker-compose: pull the new images tagged 1.0.0-beta.13 or later
  6. 6. After upgrade, verify that the namespaceConf.fixed configuration properly restricts sensitive environment variable exposure
  7. 7. Test that application deployments correctly handle secret and configmap references without leaking sensitive information

No vendor fix exists Laf has not published a patch for this.

There is no version to upgrade to and no patch to apply. Every affected install stays exposed until the vendor ships a fix — or somebody else builds one.
