Flyte 2.0.1 through 2.0.51 contains a cleartext secret storage vulnerability that allows users with Pod read access to obtain secrets by reading init container environment variables
Why It Matters
Analysis dossierWhy It Matters
Flyte 2.0.1 through 2.0.51 contains a cleartext secret storage vulnerability that allows users with Pod read access to obtain secrets by reading init container environment variables. The embedded secret manager webhook writes base64-encoded FILE-mounted secret values into the SECRETS environment variable, letting principals without Secret store access decode them from the Pod spec.

Suggested hunting (rule-based inference)
SecOps Signal recommendation (rule-based inference). These steps are hunting hypotheses from the vulnerability class; they do not state or imply that exploitation occurred here or anywhere.
Matched credential-exposure (CWE-312)
Exposure
- Identify affected installations and the credential-handling feature described by the source.Telemetry: Application inventory · The CWE alone does not establish which secrets were exposed. · Rule credential-exposure
Exploitation evidence
- Review anomalous sign-ins for accounts that could be affected after confirming the exposure path.Telemetry: SigninLogs · Sign-in review is conditional; no compromise is presumed. · Rule credential-exposure
Response
- Follow the source mitigation and rotate credentials only where exposure is confirmed or advised.Telemetry: Identity audit logs · Credential response should follow evidence and vendor guidance. · Rule credential-exposure
