Description

Summary

Hello 👋

goreleaser release --debug log shows secret values used in the in the custom publisher.

How to reproduce the issue:

  • Define a custom publisher as the one below. Make sure to provide a custom script to the cmd field and to provide a secret to env
#.goreleaser.yml 
publishers:
  - name: my-publisher
  # IDs of the artifacts we want to sign
    ids:
      - linux_archives
      - linux_package
    cmd: "./build/package/linux_notarize.sh"
    env:
      - VERSION={{ .Version }}
      - SECRET_1={{.Env.SECRET_1}}
      - SECRET_2={{.Env.SECRET_2}}
  • run goreleaser release --debug

You should see your secret value in the gorelease log. The log shows also the GITHUB_TOKEN

Example:

running                                        cmd= ....
SECRET_1=secret_value

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

  2. Fix

    Update github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser to 1.24.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-h3q2-8whx-c29h is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-h3q2-8whx-c29h is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Tailored to GHSA-h3q2-8whx-c29h. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
