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
zot is ancontainer image/artifact registry based on the Open Container Initiative Distribution Specification. Prior to version 2.1.3 (corresponding to pseudoversion 1.4.4-0.20250522160828-8a99a3ed231f), when using Keycloak as an oidc provider, the clientsecret gets printed into the container stdout logs for an example at container startup. Version 2.1.3 (corresponding to pseudoversion 1.4.4-0.20250522160828-8a99a3ed231f) fixes the issue.

How this class of weakness works · CWE-532

Sensitive values — secrets, tokens, session identifiers, personal data — are written into log files, so anyone with access to the logs, which is often a broad group, obtains them. It turns a routine diagnostic into a credential leak. The fix is redacting sensitive data before it is logged and tightly restricting who can read the logs.

Recommended fix High confidence

2.1.3

  1. 1. Identify the current version of zot being used by checking the container image tag or binary version
  2. 2. Upgrade the zot installation to version 2.1.3 or later (e.g., pull the latest stable image tag or download the new binary)
  3. 3. Restart the zot container/service to apply the updated version
  4. 4. If using Keycloak as an OIDC provider, verify that the clientsecret is no longer printed in stdout logs during startup by reviewing recent container logs
