CISA KEV lists vulnerabilities known to be exploited. FIRST EPSS estimates the likelihood of exploitation in the next 30 days. An unavailable score does not mean zero risk.

No exploitation or prediction data is available here for these CVEs. This does not mean they are safe or unlikely to be exploited.

Github.com/go-viper/mapstructure/v2: go-viper's mapstructure may leak sensitive information in logs in github.com/go-viper/mapstructure

A flaw was found in github.com/go-viper/mapstructure/v2, in the field processing component using mapstructure.WeakDecode. This vulnerability allows information disclosure through detailed error messages that may leak sensitive input values via malformed user-supplied data processed in security-critical contexts.

go-viper's mapstructure May Leak Sensitive Information in Logs When Processing Malformed Data

### Summary Use of this library in a security-critical context may result in leaking sensitive information, if used to process sensitive fields. ### Details OpenBao (and presumably HashiCorp Vault) have surfaced error messages from `mapstructure` as follows: https://github.com/openbao/openbao/blob/98c3a59c040efca724353ca46ca79bd5cdbab920/sdk/framework/field_data.go#L43-L50 ```go _, _, err := d.getPrimitive(field, schema) if err != nil { return fmt.Errorf("error converting input for field %q: %w", field, err) } ``` where this calls `mapstructure.WeakDecode(...)`: https://github.com/openbao/openbao/blob/98c3a59c040efca724353ca46ca79bd5cdbab920/sdk/framework/field_data.go#L181-L193 ```go func (d *FieldData) getPrimitive(k string, schema *FieldSchema) (interface{}, bool, error) { raw, ok := d.Raw[k] if !ok { return nil, false, nil } switch t := schema.Type; t { case TypeBool: var result bool if err := mapstructure.WeakDecode(raw, &result); err != nil { return nil, false, err } return result, true, nil ``` Notably, `WeakDecode(...)` eventually calls one of the decode helpers, which surfaces the original value via `strconv` helpers: https://github.com/go-viper/mapstructure/blob/8c61ec1924fcfa522f9fc6b4618c672db61d1a38/mapstructure.go#L720-L727 https://github.com/go-viper/mapstructure/blob/8c61ec1924fcfa522f9fc6b4618c672db61d1a38/mapstructure.go#L791-L798 https://github.com/go-viper/mapstructure/blob/8c61ec1924fcfa522f9fc6b4618c672db61d1a38/decode_hooks.go#L180 & more. These are different code paths than are fixed in the previous iteration at https://github.com/go-viper/mapstructure/security/advisories/GHSA-fv92-fjc5-jj9h. ### PoC To reproduce with OpenBao: ``` $ podman run --pull=always -p 8300:8300 openbao/openbao:latest server -dev -dev-root-token-id=root -dev-listen-address=0.0.0.0:8300 ``` and in a new tab: ``` $ BAO_TOKEN=root BAO_ADDR=http://localhost:8300 bao auth enable userpass Success! Enabled userpass auth method at: userpass/ $ curl -X PUT -H "X-Vault-Request: true" -H "X-Vault-Token: root" -d '{"ttl":"asdf"}' "http://localhost:8200/v1/auth/userpass/users/asdf" --> server logs: 2025-06-25T21:32:25.101-0500 [ERROR] core: failed to run existence check: error="error converting input for field \"ttl\": time: invalid duration \"asdf\"" ``` ### Impact This is an information disclosure bug with little mitigation. See https://discuss.hashicorp.com/t/hcsec-2025-09-vault-may-expose-sensitive-information-in-error-logs-when-processing-malformed-data-with-the-kv-v2-plugin/74717 for a previous version. That version was fixed, but this is in the second part of that error message (starting at `'' expected a map, got 'string'` -- when the field type is `string` and a `map` is provided, we see the above information leak -- the previous example had a `map` type field with a `string` value provided). This was rated 4.5 Medium by HashiCorp in the past iteration.
