CVE-2026-102289
zizmor is a static analysis tool for CI/CD systems. In version 1.27.0, debug logging serializes the parsed application configuration with a derived Debug implementation for GitHubToken, causing credentials supplied through GH_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, ZIZMOR_GITHUB_TOKEN, --gh-token, --github-token, or --zizmor-github-token to be written to stderr in cleartext. A single -v or --verbose option or an applicable RUST_LOG directive enables the affected logging during normal online operation and --no-online-audits, while explicit --offline clears the token first. If another party can read a CI log, support artifact, terminal capture, or public bug report containing the output, the party can use the credential according to its scopes, repository access, and lifetime. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.28.0.

Affected products and versions
NVD has not supplied machine-readable vulnerable CPE product/version entries for this CVE. This is an information gap, not proof that no products are affected. Check the vendor advisory references below.
Remediation & validation
- Identify exposure by comparing the affected product and version ranges with your asset inventory, SBOM and externally exposed services.
- Review the linked vendor security advisory or patch notes. Upgrade to a vendor-confirmed fixed release; do not infer a fixed version from the CVE description.
- Until patched, consider restricting network access or disabling the affected feature where operationally safe. These are temporary controls, not a substitute for a vendor fix.
- Validate the remediation with a version check and vulnerability rescan, then retain change evidence.
No fixed version is displayed unless it is explicitly established by a vendor advisory. Follow the vendor's release notes for exact product and branch applicability.
