Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
Invocation of Process Using Visible Sensitive Information in Black Duck blackduck-c-cpp 1.0.17 through 3.0.6 allows an actor able to execute code within the scanned project's build to obtain the Black Duck API token via the ambient process environment, which is inherited by subprocesses launched during build capture and signature scanning. This applies only where the token is supplied through the BLACKDUCK_API_TOKEN or BD_HUB_TOKEN environment variable.
Upgrading does not remediate prior disclosure; any token supplied to an affected version through an environment variable should be rotated.
AnalysisAI
Token exfiltration in Black Duck blackduck-c-cpp 1.0.17 through 3.0.6 allows any actor with code execution inside a scanned project's build to read the Black Duck API token from the process environment inherited by scanning subprocesses. The token - when supplied via BLACKDUCK_API_TOKEN or BD_HUB_TOKEN - is passed in plaintext to child processes spawned during build capture and signature scanning, where it is observable by co-located code. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker must have the ability to execute arbitrary code within the scanned project's build environment - achieved, for example, through a malicious build script (Makefile target, CMake custom command), a compromised or malicious C/C++ dependency that runs code at build time, or a supply chain injection into the project's source tree. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:L) correctly identifies local access with low complexity, but AT:P (attack requirements present) is the critical gating condition: exploitation requires code execution inside the build environment, which is a non-trivial prerequisite in hardened CI/CD pipelines. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A threat actor embeds a malicious rule in a project's Makefile or a compromised C/C++ dependency that, when executed during blackduck-c-cpp's build capture phase, reads /proc/self/environ (or calls getenv()) to extract the BLACKDUCK_API_TOKEN value and exfiltrates it to an attacker-controlled endpoint. With the stolen token, the attacker authenticates to the Black Duck Hub API, enumerates all scanned projects and their vulnerability reports, and potentially modifies scan results to suppress findings - undermining the integrity of the organization's SCA program. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade blackduck-c-cpp to a version beyond 3.0.6 per the vendor advisory at https://community.blackduck.com/s/article/Black-Duck-Product-Security-Advisory-CVE-2026-76054-CVE-2026-76055; the exact patched release number was not specified in the available data and should be verified against PyPI or the advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
