CVE-2026-108728: Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information in flyteorg flyte
Description
Flyte 2.0.1 through 2.0.51 contains a cleartext secret storage vulnerability that allows users with Pod read access to obtain secrets by reading init container environment variables. The embedded secret manager webhook writes base64-encoded FILE-mounted secret values into the SECRETS environment variable, letting principals without Secret store access decode them from the Pod spec.

Technical Analysis
Flyte versions 2.0.1 through 2.0.51 contain a cleartext secret storage vulnerability. The embedded secret manager webhook writes base64-encoded secret values, which are FILE-mounted, into the SECRETS environment variable of init containers. This allows any user with Pod read access to decode these secrets from the Pod specification, effectively bypassing intended Secret store access restrictions.
Potential Impact
Users with Pod read access can obtain sensitive secrets by decoding base64-encoded environment variables, potentially leading to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information. This compromises the confidentiality of secrets managed by Flyte's secret manager.
