These tokens could then potentially be exchanged with external cloud providers to access secrets stored in cloud vault solutions.  Tokens are only logged when there is a specific error marshaling the `parameters` sent to the providers.\n\n### Am I vulnerable?\n\nTo check if tokens are being logged, examine the manager container log:\n\n```bash\nkubectl logs -l 'app.kubernetes.io/part-of=secrets-store-sync-controller' -c manager -f | grep --line-buffered \"csi.storage.k8s.io/serviceAccount.tokens\"\n```\n\n### Affected Versions\n\n- secrets-store-sync-controller < v0.0.2\n\n### How do I mitigate this vulnerability?\n\nUpgrade to secrets-store-sync-controller v0.0.2+\n\n### Fixed Versions\n\n- secrets-store-sync-controller >= v0.0.2\n\n\n### Detection\n\nExamine cloud provider logs for unexpected token exchanges, as well as unexpected access to cloud vault secrets.\n\nIf you find evidence that this vulnerability has been exploited, please contact [security@kubernetes.io](https://groups.google.com/)\n\n### Acknowledgements\n\nThis vulnerability was reported by Reem Rotenberg and [Kas Dekel](https://github.com/privmickas) from Microsoft.","affected":[{"package":{"name":"sigs.k8s.io/secrets-store-sync-controller","ecosystem":"Go","purl":"pkg:golang/sigs.k8s.io/secrets-store-sync-controller"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.0.2"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2025/09/GHSA-rcw7-pqfp-735x/GHSA-rcw7-pqfp-735x.json"}}],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/secrets-store-sync-controller/security/advisories/GHSA-rcw7-pqfp-735x"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-7445"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/133897"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/secrets-store-sync-controller"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://groups.google.com/g/kubernetes-security-announce/c/NP7cQvQ1aGA"}],"database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-532"],"github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2025-09-05T21:02:44Z","nvd_published_at":"2025-09-05T03:15:31Z","severity":"MODERATE"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N"}]}
