How to Fix GHSA-g35x-j6jj-8g7j

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected @mittwald/kubernetes dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

@mittwald/kubernetes fixed: 3.5.0 
npm install @mittwald/kubernetes@3.5.0
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

npm ls @mittwald/kubernetes

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-g35x-j6jj-8g7j, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls @mittwald/kubernetes

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of @mittwald/kubernetes in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.5.0), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls @mittwald/kubernetes command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-532: Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File, where the product writes sensitive information to a log file. In @mittwald/kubernetes, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact When debug logging is enabled (via `DEBUG` environment variable), the Kubernetes client may log all response bodies into the debug log -- including sensitive data from `Secret` resources. When running in a Kubernetes cluster, this might expose sensitive information to users who are _not_ authorised to access secrets, but have access to Pod logs (either directly using kubectl, or by Pod logs being shipped elsewhere). ### Patches Upgrade to 3.5.0 or newer. ### Workarounds Disable debug logging entirely, or exclude the `kubernetes:client` debug item (for example, using `DEBUG=*,-kubernetes:client`). ### References - https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/532.html
