CVE-2026-78658: CWE-212 Improper Removal of Sensitive Information Before Storage or Transfer in IBM UCD - IBM UrbanCode Deploy
Description
IBM UCD - IBM UrbanCode Deploy 7.2 through 7.2.3.25, and 7.3 through 7.3.2.20 and IBM UCD - IBM DevOps Deploy 8.0 through 8.0.1.15, 8.1 through 8.1.2.8, and 8.2 through 8.2.2.1 IBM DevOps Deploy / IBM UrbanCode Deploy (UCD) is susceptible to an formation disclosure vulnerability when processing redacted property values. If a deployment is configured with a secure property that starts with certain non-ASCII characters, the redaction engine may fail to mask subsequent ASCII secure values embedded inside unsecure properties. An authenticated user with permissions to view deployment request details could exploit this flaw via the UI or API to view sensitive values in plain text that should otherwise be redacted.

Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-78658 describes an information disclosure vulnerability in IBM UrbanCode Deploy and IBM DevOps Deploy. The flaw occurs when processing redacted property values: if a secure property begins with specific non-ASCII characters, the redaction engine may not properly mask subsequent ASCII secure values embedded inside unsecure properties. An authenticated user with appropriate permissions can exploit this via the UI or API to view sensitive data in clear text that should be protected.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information to authenticated users with permission to view deployment request details. This could lead to exposure of confidential data that should be redacted, potentially compromising security or privacy. There is no indication of impact to integrity or availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict permissions to view deployment request details to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious access. Avoid configuring secure properties with non-ASCII starting characters if possible.
